Measuring Life

Interesting article in HBR by Clay Christiansen:

Especially liked his ending, which made me reflect...success in work is not everything in life. So to think about it, like a investment portfolio, success in life probably means having success in:
1. work
2. great relations with your partner
3. raising great kids
4. making a difference in others lives (1 person is a good number to start with).
5. making parents feel proud of you (not just by work or academics necessarily)
6. getting the "light bulb" switch on in the brain once in a while after having learnt something new - maybe a different perspective, a different experience
etc. etc

Need to work more seriously on pts.2,3,4,5,6 from today. pt.1 has been clouding my life too much of late. Quite crazy how the monotony of work with the daily calls, emails, blackberrys, have made a robot out of me......crap !
