While everyone seems increasingly concerned about work-life balance, many of the professionals still work more than 10 hours a day. I chanced across this recent article:

It is not the first time articles like this are written. It definitely will not be the last. When the world is competitive, and time is money, workers will always suffer. Especially workers at the bottom of the food chain.
Not too long ago, I was also working like there was no other thing in the world to do. Though I knew there were so many things to do in life, there was always work, and my false sense of responsibility made me continuously return to work on weekends.
Fortunately, I made up my mind to discontinue the life that consisted only of work. Hopefully one day everyone will make up their minds and discontinue the vicious cycle of working extra long hours. Then again, this day will probably never happen any time soon.
