We live in a hectic and fast-paced country. Everything has to be fast and if we are slow at work, we will be deemed ineffective. The mounting pressure is real. A few years ago, a Singaporean man was experiencing tremendous pressure at work. He went through deep depression. To cut the long story short, he took his life. I vividly remember that that incident caused quite a stir here.
Most of us have to work. Some work pressure may not be totally bad but if it hounds us and cause us to malfunction in everyday life, then we may need to do some stock taking here. For some, a change of job may be helpful, for others it may be a change of their work scope. It is common these days for high paying executives to switch careers, they may even settle into a lower paying job but they are happier. These days it's heartening to learn that many companies and establishments are paying more attention to work life balance. As Christians, we strive to live balanced lives, giving time to God, family and friends or some also devote time to do social work. Making time for hobbies, recreational activities and exercise are also important.
