The balls are called work, family, health, friends and integrity.
And you are keeping all of them in the air.
But one day you finally come to understand that work is a rubber ball.
If you drop it, it will bounce back.
The other 4 balls - family, health, friends and integrity are made of glass.
If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered.
And once you truly understand the lesson of the 5 Balls, you will have the beginnings of balance in your life.
From Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas / James Patterson
