Work at our responsibility as parents as if everything in life counted on it, because in fact everything in life does count on it.

Gordon B. Hinckley
About This Quote

Work life balance is important. Everyone has to work for a living. A parent must work for their children. Everyone needs to work for their family and friends.

But, some people take it too far and they believe that everything in their lives does count on it. Too much work can be dangerous and can cause some people to lose track of time and focus on the wrong things in life. A parent must not put too much importance on work and neglect their family and friends completely.
