The record I hold prior to last week was 10pm but last week I broke this record with 11.15pm.
I took leave on Monday and with just 4 days I worked a total of 55.15 hours. That's an average of 13.7 hours. Maybe that's the reason why I have always look for jobs that has short hours because after 1 year and 9 months at work, I still haven't found the satisfaction in striving at work or climbing the career ladder.
The week that just ended showed me how much Asians work too much and that is why we see an increase in medical bills, divorce rates, broken families and a life of meaningless. To top it all there are many others who earn a higher salary and bonus while working less hours. (am referring to the Western Countries)
If only Asian will learn to recognize that work is something God created for man to rule and not something to rule man.
My Head of Department has always said - work hard. But I don't want to reach that point in life where all I know is work and that I end up in the hospital bed because of working hard. =)
A balance is essential that's why God made a full day of rest and even God rested!
