It Really Matters (Part 2)... Burned-Out

Being burned out is just like driving your car in the red-zone. As we chase after life’s insatiable materialistic needs, we often put ourselves there. The simple logic is, if you’ve burned out all of your energy on work, hobby or friends, you will NEVER have enough energy to have good quality time with the people you love. You’d probably go back home tired and maybe, low in patience. You'd probably die early too. Just like the car :P

Burned-out parents are the worst. Not only they're self-destructive, they could also end up destructing the whole family. That's why it's always good to have one of them as full-time parent to focus the energy required to nurture the right values to the children.

In life, you can’t have everything. We recognize that in Economics through Opportunity Cost. So, depending on your priorities, “burn wisely”.
