Profession was basically defined to have an earning to live. However, today it is meant for lot of things around us such as sophistication, luxury, challenges, pride, esteem, knowledge and many more. The world of competition has of course printed it foot far well into professionalism. Professionals today strive really energetic to come out with their best. Both men and women in their longer and faster run forget their real haven on earth. They madly run after the virtual haven leaving back their children speaking with cartoons with no one around to take care.
Family is the place where peace, relaxation, happiness, energy prevails. Professionals consider that they do not have enough time to care for the family. It is actually a wrong notion. Family is the only boost to any emotional man and it is the one, which would give you a hike in professionalism too. People run behind yoga and other stress management ignorantly forgetting that they could get all those calm and peace in the family they failed to care. It is where we learn what sorrow is, what troubles are, how management is to be done and finally what peace and happiness are. A person who cannot withhold a good family can never be a successful businessperson withholding a lot of people with diverging characters and varying thoughts.
It is of course very important to take care of profession. After completing a professional degree and attending queue of interviews with lots of efforts, day and night one might have acquired the job. In the long of run of competition, today withholding the job is very important. Everyday turns out to be a “Doomsday Conspiracy” to several who have struggled vigorously to get into the pace of competition. Therefore, it is far more important to take care of it and cope up with the pace acquired.
However, are we going to pay our happiness, family and the soul of living to the pace acquired?
Children today left off in childcare centers and parents left off in old homes peel the truth that our affection and love has gone to money instead of the family. People have started to fail caring and loving though they pass a lot of tough exams. Communication has been reduced among family member. Understanding is being converged and misunderstanding is being diverged. All these issues slowly creep into a person’s life when he or she shifts their attention only toward their profession. It does not mean that on has to put a full stop to the profession he or she has acquired. It means that one who is shrewd to with hold the competition in his or her profession must also be shrewd enough to withhold the balance in both profession and family.
Remember the saying,” You are some on to the world, but you are the world to someone”.Just think yourself,”For whom do you earn for?”, “For whom do you struggle a lot?”
A morning wish to your parents, a hearty anniversary wish to your wife and a happy play with your kids is what the real happiness is all about. Professional means not only an expert in job; it must mean the expert with all. A good professional must be well behaved and very good with his speech with his clients, why should not he be the best to his family.
A child follows his or her parents as a role model in life. If the parents are too busy with the profession they are with, how could the child possible be good at his age? Apartment culture, old age homes, junk food, unhealthy livings are some of the side effects of so-called uncaring professionalism. There is no regular way of living in such professionalism. Going to work getting fame living luxuriously does not make your children happy at all.
The professionals care a lot for their profession than for their children. The problem arises only when the equilibrium gets disturbed between these two. Letting those children to enjoy life when they must be taught what the real life is may cause a hazard with the child’s future. Uncared children tend to hate the community they live in, the parent, the society. Possible they could fall into illicit hands. They may soon get addicted into drugs or other anti-social activities.
Preserving the need of youth status is an alarming need for every country. Youths are the wealthiest resource of a country. As we are the citizen’s of this world, it would be our duty to preserve the good for our future generation to live in peace. Care your responsibility and plane the future. Professionals need not be taught to do things. They must know how to do things.
One has to consider family and profession to be the railway line. The train is derailed even if one track has a small crack in it. However, this analogy could also be wrong because railway lines do never meet and they move in parallel. Nevertheless, this is not the case with family and professionalism. They must meet and continue to function hand in hand. Both are mutually occurring events and will have impact on each other equally.
One cannot even consider them to be the pairs of eyes of a man, because vision exists even when you lose one of your eyes. It could be considered as the brain and heart of the human boy. Soothing a helping hand in hand for the sound functioning of our physic. Here I would designate family as “heart” which would be the first and the last in our life. Profession could be considered as “brain” to human body.
A crystal clear balance between professionalism and family is brightly essential to one’s life. This would not only make our life very peaceful but also powerful. This balance would encourage real love in family. We will be considered the role model and dream model to our kids and friends whom we maintain cordially. A “hello” and “hi” to our friends is not going to pay us a million in the business we do. Hence, a healthy relation in both must be maintained for a healthy living.
"A sound relation in a sound profession" is my new saying.
