I think family will be the most important thing through all my life,but when I sit and think this through,I think career is more important to me as of now,My parents are all in a good healthy status,they are still not old and I have nothing to worry about,I have a stable relationship with my girl friend and we will never apart,friend? they are all good to me,so I am thinking that as a young it's time to focus on careers? how do you think about this? Everyone have a nice day and night

i suppose family is the most important part of my life now considering that i gave up my career for them. but i always believe that any situation is an opportunity. i am determined to make something out of my limited career options. besides, i often think i'd probably regret not focusing on my family. i can't bear to one day have a child who is not close to me or who i cannot relate to because i had to work 12 hours a day in a corporate office

i used to really work 12 hours a day. in small companies and organizations in the philippines one person can be given the job of several other people. in my past job my major job was human resources head but i held two other responsibilities that should have been the work of two other people. that was really tough that's why i had to give up that job. now i am an online writer which is better for my family because i am always near my toddler

12 hours a day?that's too much I think,a good career could make a happy family,it's necessary for most people in the world,without a job,we could afford nothing,so I think that all these aspects are important to others

family is the most important thing for me. You can choose your friends, your jobs, but you can not choose your parents, sisters and brothers. No matter where i am, family is the most important for me.

you have got a good point,what I mean is that family is the most important thing through our lives but career or friends might be more important in a certain time to us,do you think so?

You are absolutely right. Family is the most important thing. Family does n't change but our career and friends change accordingly. We change our career and friends only for the family sake.

Family is the most important, secong only to God. No matter what happens in my life, family is always there. I think that frieds and careers are things that come along in life, and can go just as quickly as they come. Family is there, and we should always put them first.

Hi lynnemg,thanks for the response,I am thinking that career or friends could be very important in a certain period or we will not be able to make our families happy

Family is always the most important thing for me. I have several good friends all for more than five years. My boyfriend treats me very well. Yeah, the job is the biggest trouble now for me. I'm looking for a new job regarding public relation. but you know, in a depression period, opportunities reduced and it's hard to find a good one. Besides, I also think health is one of the most important things for our life, am I right? O(n_n)O
