Are you a good Juggler?

This might sound strange, but I think the most important criteria in judging a person’s success is not by the money he makes but how good a juggler he/she is. Life is all about juggling. You have to juggle things when you are a kid with school, as you grow older, things at work, work and life outside work, juggling kids with their endless needs and so on and so forth. The number of things you juggle can grow enormously as the wants and needs pile up. The juggling complexity however grows exponentially.

Some people are natural and do a good job with this balancing act. I truly believe these folks succeed in Life. Others who have a difficult time, make their life difficult and miserable at times. Personally I suck at it right now, but intend to get better at this eventually.

For all the avid readers, I would highly recommend this book by Rohinton Mistry “A Fine Balance”. This book is a fictional story about various families intertwined with each other, dealing with this very essence of balancing life.
