I don't like it that my work has seeped into my personal life. My life now seems to revolve around work and the numerous conference calls that are taking place almost everyday. Not only that, it has turned my otherwise scheduled life upside down with its many after office hours and last minute demands. My life has to be re-adjusted, sometimes, at last minute notices, just to fit my clients fancy. As you can tell from my ranting, I don't like it one bit.
Let's take this all into perspective. Life is life, while work is merely work. The world doesn't end if some of this work is postponed until the next day. It's not a matter of live and death for people if your work is somewhat late. The work you do doesn't make you a more successful or better person. You're not a success in life just because you can work 3 days and 3 nights without sleep to meet some stupid deadline.
So, I shall not bow to the pressure of ambitious clients. They can work their asses off for all I care, to prove to the world how competent and capable they are, and hopefully, the feeling of success can assuage the other insecurities and fears they have. As for me, I have nothing to prove; I have a life to live.
