 Hello everyone welcome to my blog. So this week I learnt from the book on “How will you measure your life” by Clayton M. Christensen. It talks about how to balance work and your personal life so that you will be able to spend your time on earth happily by not just been focused on money and career but also family, friends, and your personal self.

Our relationship with our family and friends is very important and it a source of happiness for our lives.

This week from the material  "Stars and stepping stones: Some choices only come around once" by Jeff Sandefer, I learnt a lot.
