@Michael Foltz - sounds like you need to start leaving work on time. ;) I like this one! Great reminder to think realistically about how you spend your time and prioritize what is most important.
No, I just don't think it's accurate to tell people (for instance) that work will bounce back. That's not true. The working world is full of stories of people who left for too long, didn't commit themselves enough, etc., and who were therefore passed over for opportunities. Now I agree that working long hours isn't the answer, typically, but I don't think it's accurate to just tell people that work will (automatically) bounce back.
What a great lesson...I've always known that I can get the job anytime when I look for it, but only realize now that I can never get the first family if it disintegrate. And the small things like taking work home i.e home work can wreck the family!

I don't agree with this analogy but understand his point, of course. Seems like he's projecting based on his own successes / lack thereof.

Great Analogy.
