The balance between personal life and work

People have different ways to manage their life and most of cases it depends of various aspects; as individuals we are defined for a lot of things, some less important than others like a comment that we hear when we walking on the street, the artist in fashion or whatever other unimportant thing; another are more or less important, like a the time in which corresponds us to live or the city where we live But, there are also, other aspects which are so important that they mark us and they influence along our entire life; our friends, the decisions that we made and  our family. I think, and actually I am very sure of that, is the most important aspect.

Our family (mother, father and brothers) forms our personality and gives us all the tools, be values or principles, to develop as a complete human being and also, to unwrap us in the society.  We share with our family our thoughts, wishes, longings, decisions, etc., and when we have to choose careers or decided what to do with our life, parents always be there, supporting us or making us think when they are clearly sure we are going in the wrong way. In "The Jack Randa Hotel" story, the principal character, Gail, was alone because she cut herself off from family (or as she said her family cut her off), when she was young, so I believe if she had had her family beside her, supporting or directing what she was doing, maybe she wouldn't have left everything to wander about  the world with either friends or boyfriends, wouldn't have been pregnant and then lost the baby; maybe,  she would have had a different life, adolescent's normal life.

At the time when we start to work, to pay the university or just to have some money, the family and sometimes, friends, advised us to choose well or to motivate us when we are depressed or when we are started something new. It is important to reach a good balance between the personal life and the work, because both are fundamental things in the life of people; when some of these aspects stand out or taking more importance that the other one, the decisions that we take cannot be very good, for example on the one hand, if we work much time or if we get stressed for a work's problem, or even when we are unemployed, our personal life is affected, mainly it is affected the relationship that we have with those that surround us. On the one hand, when our personal problems affected us (for example, when we broke up with a boyfriend or have an argument with a relative or friend), our acting in the work is bad and disappointed.

Gail, was precipitated when she sold her shop and decided to follow Will to Australia; her personal life was more important that her job (she was her own boss!) and she didn´t care about what she would do once she returned from Australia, as if the future won`t exist.

I believe it is impossible to separate two important aspects of our life (personal life and work), but is possible to act and order the things in such way that everything will be in their right place.
