Puts life into perspective and reminds us that work is just work.<br /><br />Interesting that you mentioned about <i>"When my mentors have stumbled in the workplace, they've generally been forgiven. However, when they've had challenges in their home lives (affairs, violence, or public conflict), they've been judged harshly."</i>.<br /><br />Keen to hear your experiences and thoughts of how that have influenced you.Boonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-3694592727502961142012-05-28T10:05:28.571-07:002012-05-28T10:05:28.571-07:00I too googled "turning 50" as my milesto...I too googled "turning 50" as my milestone approaches in September.<br /><br />Thanks for the insight.

I also happen to be a physician (Radiologist), husband and father. <br /><br />Great piece. Appreciate your insight and perspective and very much agree with you on what is truly important. <br /><br />- DougDougnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-66339326922588389322012-05-23T07:42:04.997-07:002012-05-23T07:42:04.997-07:00Happy Birthday John!!

Your thinking has both challenged mine and validated it - thank you!Lukas Zawilskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08807946397859035366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-91753440461474325002012-05-21T12:16:19.152-07:002012-05-21T12:16:19.152-07:00Happy 50th, John.

Written from the heart to be sure. I suspect that you will be even wiser once you celebrate your 50th :)<br /><br />May you and your family savor the celebration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-84107556196041365142012-05-21T11:09:22.930-07:002012-05-21T11:09:22.930-07:00Thanks John.

While we often hear of "work-life balance" yours is one of the few that spoke of the positive effects of a healthy home life upon your work. <b>Thank you</b> for articulating that point so clearly. "If your relationships with those who are important to you are positive and supportive, you will feel a sense of optimism and life energy that empowers all the other aspects of your life." I don't think the converse (good work life leads to good home life) is necessarily true, at least not to the same degree.<br />DavidDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13251393010554964308noreply@blogger.com
