While we all want to take a breather from a hard day’s work by escaping and taking an out-of-town trip, when we think of the horrendous traffic we are bound to encounter, we would rather go home, take a rest, and call it a day!
Stress in the workplace is inevitable, because that’s part and parcel of being in the corporate world, or to be candid, being in the rat race. But we all ought to work for various reasons. Family’s future, education of children, travel with the family, and the truth is, the list is long. Health experts suggest that once you are in your home, you drop everything, forget the workload you leave behind in your office and enjoy being with your family. After all, whatever we work for and the sacrifices we make, it’s all for our family.
