Lesson of the five balls

Decided to be a bookworm today and headed to the lib after dance.

Borrowed James Patterson's "Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas", my second read after "Sundays at Tiffanys". Thought of sharing the lesson of the five balls, which I read about here.

Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling five balls. The balls are called work, family, health, friends and integrity. And you're keeping all of them in the air. But one day you finally come to understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls - family, health, friends and integrity - are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered. And once you truly understand the lesson of the five balls, you will have the beginnings of balance in your life.

It's quite a touching story really... guess i'll be back for more of Patterson's other stories.

Also listening to 方大同's Singalong Song.
