What counts is not the number of hours !
……you put in, but how much you put into the hours
In ancient Greece and Rome, slaves had a hundred holidays a year, more days
off than many executives take today in the headlong pursuit of success.
If you’re an executive, you probably work over fifty seven hours a week. Your
problem isn’t simply one of long hours, however, it’s also one of frenetic,
mind-numbing activity. Chances are you attend five meetings a day and return to
a burgeoning e-mail in-box, cluttered desk and tweeting smartphone. And you’ll
be interrupted once every 12 minutes!
Which of us hasn’t wished at some time that we could turn our back on this
kind of success, quit our job with dignity, don bib overalls, and carve wooden
birds for a living?
If only life were that simple.
The truth is that, as workaholics, we’d probably be mass-producing birds in no time!
You see, the problem is not with our job; it’s our attitude. Somehow, we have convinced
ourselves that it’s not enough to be in charge – we have to be in control.
But, the more we try to control, the greater our frustration and disappointment
become.
The only thing you can control is your outlook on life.
