An individual wrote, "Nice post. Juggling work and life is like juggling flaming torches while riding a unicycle on a tightrope above a pit of hungry alligators. As for employees, well, expecting them to work 70 hours a week is like asking a penguin to participate in a triathlon – it is just not their objective."
A second commented, "Prioritising mental health and creating precious memories is just as important as any professional success."
A third shared, "Well said! The guys preaching 70 hour work week probably won’t understand the importance of spending good quality time with family, as they all are driven by their insecurities of whether they will be able to make a mark in history or not."
"Well said," added a fourth.
