is it possible to keep professional life separate from personal life

I think we are only humans n not super natural ... evryone is bound 2 fall pray to this sometime in life!! its veyr easy 2 say that one can strike a balance but its not easy 4 everyone, it also depends on the persons character his emotional state n the kinda support he gets...
Being a sensitive person myself i find it very hard 2 not affect my professional life when der is some other problem or even vice -versa!!
Though its rightly said the right thing 2 do is keep both of them away , sometimes its not that simple!
 
Well...This question is indeed making the brains rack, as the plethora of females that has entered the corporate platforms are making their counterparts of the opposite sex envious.

The basic thing that i would opine here is that, society has been formed in such a way that males are given a higher look. But if we are considering ourselves an active part of the 21st century, then, i guess, this traditional thinking must be given a second thought. Though the fact remains that there are higher no. of males in corporate or professional world, but when it comes to working and achieving profits, there comes no question of whether you are a male or a female.

Building on this aspect comes my point, that if this basic fact is kept in mind and if more energy is targeted towards goals, rather than who is achieving them, it'll help us format a thin line of difference between professional and personal fronts.

And the bottom line is, that if one sex is not envious of its counterparts of the same sex, then, i guess it's high time that one should attain maturity and understand that in the same way, being envious of opposite counterparts also doesn't help!

Coming to the basic question, i would say that yes it is possible to separate professional and personal life..!!
 
yes ,,offcourse it is possible to keep professional & personal life seprate...........
we r mature human beings n we should know how to handle different situations..........wat ever comes in one's way one should accept it with POSITIVE energy & POSITIVE attitude..........
n then i dont think it is diificult to seprate professional & personal life.
 
At d office full of 20 somethin wher my friend, Niki, works, every1 was comparing their salaries, and d owner of d company got really angry. And his being angry made for a tough week, so Niki asked him if she could take Friday off.

He said, “If you’re going to be successful u need to start putting ur career b4 ur life.”

Of course she took the day off.

When she told her mother about d situation, her mother said, “If u don’t put ur life b4 work u will never be happy.”

Hearing this conflicting advice frm two of d most influential elders in ur life is confusing. What does Niki’s boss say to his kids wen he gets home? Does he tell them to put work before life? Wat wud Niki’s mom say to young people she works with? Wud she tell them to go home early?

This whole notion of needing to separate work and life implies tht ur career, which takes up abt 75% of ur day, is somethin u simply try to get through so u can go home and do wat u really enjoy for d other 25%. Wat a terrible way to live.

I wholeheartedly believe tht my life has a purpose. My purpose is to be successful, genuinely happy and to make a difference in this world somewher along d way. Not a single one of these values can take a backseat to another. The balance doesn’t work, we already know this. I don’t want to choose. I want a blended life.
 
Hey Ankit, I liked the way u put forth ur point by Niki's incident.. And I also agree with u..

Ultimately in life, we r not just here for working, n i also feel, personal life plays a far more major role in one's life..

Lets talk with an example, take the recent case of the air hostess suicide case, she was very well professionally, she was drawing monthly salary of over 55,000.. that means she was very good at her job... But the problem was her disturbed personal life, her unsuccessful marriage, so even though her job was good, she wasnt mentally satiesfied, so she ended her life..

So, here I feel a person should compromise a little bit to make his personal life better... so that he remains satisfied with his life, his quality of work and life will improve...

making the balance is the most difficult thing, so i try not to remember work in my personal life, to do this i don't see anybody from work in my personal life and don't talk about work at home.
 
It sounds very ideal to a perfect balance between personal and professional, but in reality it hardly happens....the given example of two frnds is a very common example but i belive the frndship is not broken but definately impacted.... I think its not impossible but difficult to cut the right balance between personal and professional life..... but we can priortise on what being important in a give situation(life o profession), which may differ frm individual to individual. :)
 
Yes, It is possible to keep it separate.
The best way is not talking about one when you are busy with the other.
Though its not that simple, but we can atleast give it a try.

Sabke bas ki baat nahi hai...not everyone can do it. i have worked with people who put up a smily face, come to office dinners and parties but do not invite you to their celebrations. One might look at such people as snobby professionals but they believe in separating their groups.

i on the other hand cant do that. i make friends both in office and oustide and as such, cant separate professional life from personal life
 
It is necessary to keep your professional life and personal life separate in order to keep your family happy and also to keep you healthy. Do some kind of yoga or meditation for relaxing and get rid of stresses which will help you stay mentally and physically healthy.
