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
balance in your life."
