El procer

Nosotros tenemos un director que es un procer. Ayer en una reunión de trabajo nos decía al empezar "vamos empecemos que luego me tengo que ir hacer gimnasia y tomar cerveza". Por que es un procer? Es un procer porque rescata como valores el ocio y el cuidado del cuerpo en una cultura que sobreestima el valor del trabajo llevando muchas veces a que las personas se vuelquen excesivamente a el en desmedro de otras áreas de su vida.

Work life Balance

It is four a.m and I can not sleep. So I m sitting in the lobby of a hotel in Jamaica, cheking my e-mail.

A couple walks by, obviously on their way to bed, having pushed the idea of vacation a little too hard. The woman looks over to me and, in a harsh whisper a little quieter than a yell, says to her friend, "Is not that sad? That guy comes here on vacation and he is stuck checking his e-mail. He can not even enjoy his two weeks off."

I think that the real question -the one they probably would not want to answer- was, "Is not it sad that we have a job where we spend two weeks avoiding the stuff we have to do fifty weeks a year?" (From "Tribes", by Seth Godin)
