Why does managers' work seem to be less:

-"Managing" is less visible than other kinds of work. Subordinate work tends to be almost all visible labor—crunching numbers, moving things, etc. This all but guarantees that subordinates will appear to be working harder—they are working harder on a physical level and humans are visual. Mentally, emotionally, and strategically, managers tend to have the more challenging job, but that depends. Many managers do take advantage of the "behind the curtains" nature of their work and don't work as hard as they could. Others work themselves into the ground even though it may not seem like it. Like many things, this is a case-by-case deal. To make it more tangible, I suppose a manager could write down how his/her time is spent (maybe an hourly recap). Even if it was just for a day, I think it would be enlightening for the company. By: Stephen Guise, answered on Quora

We don't live in bungalows, duplexes or flats. We live in our mind:

- Martina Navratilova was once asked, “How do you maintain your focus, physique and sharp game even at the age of 43?"  She gave a humble reply, “The ball doesn’t know how old I am”. You need to stop yourself from stopping yourself. Every game in life is actually played on a 6 inch ground – the space between your two ears.  We don't live in bungalows, duplexes or flats. We live in our mind which is an unlimited area. Life is great when things are sorted and uncluttered there.  Keeping the mind messy with hatred growing on the table, regrets piling up in corner, expectations boiling in kitchen, secrets stuffed under the carpet and worries littered everywhere ruins this real home.   The key factor to performing well in life and in every arena, is the ability to control the quality and quantity of your “internal dialogue”. Performance is potential minus internal interference.  Live in peace, not in pieces. Source:  Received through whatsapp message
