Value has a value only if its value is valued

30 seconds speech by Bryan Dyson: Former CEO of Coca-cola
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in air. They are Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you're keeping all of these in the air.

You will soon understand that Work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four Balls - Family, Health, Friends and Spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it.

Work efficiently during office hours and leave on time. Give the required time to your family, friends and have proper rest.

Value has a value only if its value is valued
I was again and again and again enlightened by this short speech.

sometimes i wonder how come these CEOs (incl Jobs) can come out with such gems of a philosophy. the closest Asians can get are probably Gandhi or Mandela.
