It's a juggle out there

From a review of Seducing the Boys Club: Uncensored Tactics From a Woman at the Top by Nina DiSesa:

To my mind, the most illuminating comments in [the] book come from James Patterson, a former advertising mogul who now writes best-selling mystery fiction. Ms. DiSesa reports that Mr. Patterson urged her to think of life as a game in which we juggle five balls labeled Work, Family, Health, Friends and Integrity.

“One day you understand Work is a rubber ball. You drop it and it bounces back,” Mr. Patterson is quoted as saying. “The other four balls are made of glass. Drop one of those, and it will be irrevocably marked, scuffed, nicked and maybe even shattered.”

Also in the Business section is an article on employee clubs that highlights Boeing's wine & beer making club. :)
