Hi all,


Do you work to live...or live to work? My family/friends call me a workaholic, but I think my 'strong work ethic' is what has made me so successful, and furthermore, happy. What's your story?

I think the best workers are well-rounded professionals with full lives, in and out of the office. Also, pursuing hobbies  you're passionate about can lead to a second career.

I've been called a workaholic, too.  I guess in my case, I do enjoy working so much that it's like a hobby.  I have other things, like crochet.  But I always end up coming back to the computer.  There's a significant time difference between me and you, almost a day's worth, but here I am.  11.30pm my time.   I took a month's holiday to Sweden, and was thinking of prospects whilst there!  I even did a little bit of direct marketing and some writing.  However, I also really enjoyed touring all over Stockholm and took more than 600 pictures.  I attended a friend's wedding and visited museums and points of interest.  So, I guess maybe I have that full life.  I do feel as though my life is full.  Most of my friends don't do what I do, and I never talk business with them.  So, maybe I have balance, too.
