Nigel Marsh’s Ted Talk, “How to make work-life balance” addresses the thorny issues that undermines one’s participation at home. It is important for the people to give proper time to family, irrespective of their hard work nature. Certain jobs and career choices are fundamentally incompatible. The most important way of resolving any issue is by accepting the reality of the situation we are in. People spend long hours on jobs they don’t like just to impress others. Another observation highlighted in the video is the fact that governments and corporations are not going to solve the problems for the people so they need to face the truth. The only solution for overcoming thorny issues is to take control and responsibility of our lives that we want to live. If an individual fail to design his or her life, someone else will design it and it may not be liked by the person CITATION Nig11 \l 1033 (Marsh, 2011). It is important to perform self-analysis for determining what exactly a person needs.
The most important thing that a person must realize is the quality of life. It is up to the individual to decide how they can maintain work-life balance. The commercial companies are focused on getting as much out of a person as they could. This deteriorates the idea of creating balance. However, the power is with the individual because they can decide if they want to design a best life for them or simply follow the instructions of the company and continue to work harder CITATION Deb16 \l 1033 (Harley-McClaskey, 2016). A person has a right to spend quality life by participating in entertaining activities and going on vacations. Without maintaining a balance, it is not possible to attain the ideal state of quality life. This require giving time to activities other than work as well.
