Confucius said, "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."
If you don't work, you don't have to worry about work-life balance.
- jszmajda 14y agoI don't think that's a fair argument. There's always a point in projects where you need to do something you don't want to do. At that point your work has become an obligation, which makes it something you don't love. You're forced to undergo the stress that we're discussing balancing. The key IMO is to find the right balance of working through that stress.
