work - personal life balance, striking the right between the two is very important!

-
Ever since returning from Chennai last week, the plan was clear and simple i.e. to have this Oracle SDH app installed and configured in office as well as on my personal laptop. This new project and role has been driving me crazy and since its a new app for me i have been up for the task. Thinking on similar lines i had decided to download the setup files, got the net connection recharged and starting downloading the files. After almost 3 days of non-stop download activity yesterday i had the whole setup ready for a final installation click. But just when i was about to go for it, something stuck me. 
   "Oh God, what am i doing?" "Why do i wish to install the app on my personal laptop?" 
  Isn't the office stuff meant to be on on office laptop and not personal one! In fact such a dire strait did i find myself that i was so close to having the app installed on both the laptops. So that i could put in extra effort but is it worth it? No way, there is a very thin line between the personal and work lives and striking the right balance is very important for success in both. And more often than not, we do find ourselves inclined towards one side than other. The key is to have a distinction here between office work and home life. It is very important to leave office work in office and personal life at home. Lesson well and very timely learnt :P

Well i have been going through this re-evaluation phase of my life and found out i've suffered most because of my trait of "pleasing people" that i felt important to me in some way or the other. I've realised that part of my problem has been pleasing others. This has primarily been to remain liked, the routine guy and to avoid conflict, etc. All measures of my own insecurities. But lately I've been finding more and more that many of such people who I once considered friends, have actually been friends only because I've been a particular way with them, and if that 'way' has deviated in some way, then their friendship has waned or disappeared altogether. Some of my 'friends' have chosen to part ways, while I've chosen to part ways from others. What's been really interesting to me is that these friends, for want of a better word, have only been friends if I've been of a particular way. Attitudes, actions, opinions, etc. If I d
