- Professionalism and family can be described as the two sides of the same coin as both are equally important in one’s life.
 - Profession gives us an individual identity and financial security and family gives us an emotional security.
 - In today’s hitech busy lifestyle it’s becoming difficult to find the time to spend with his/her family. This is causing lack of peace of mind.
 - Without profession there will be no meaning of our life in present generation. Profession is not just to earn money but for our identity and self satisfaction.
 - With the constant increase in the cost of living, job is a necessity for many.
 - Career is important but not as much as relationships.
 - Professionalism is not all about being a workaholic. It is all about knowing your priorities and acting professionally both at the workplace and at home.
 - Being too much workaholic causes frustration and other psychological problems.
 - Some people are not spending with their family even in holidays, to earn more money. They should remember that money is just a tool for happiness. Money can’t give loved ones.
 - If we concentrate only on career, we may get fame and money but we loose many sweetest moments in our life.
 - some people are settling in abroad leaving the old parents here.
 - Some people are not concentrating on their children because they are giving much more priority to their job. So children may feel insecure and it may lead them in a wrong way.
 - To achieve goals, sometimes we have to stay away from family. For example our soldiers are staying away from their families to protect our country.
 - If both parents are working it’s better to stay in joint family. So that children will be taken care by their grand parents or relatives.
 - Plan the weekends with family by keeping the office matters aside.
 - Avoid procrastination. Prioritize the things and plan effectively. This can give us free time.
 - If we spend some time with family, obviously there will be no need to go to the psychiatrist for stress relief.
 - The ultimate goal of everyone is being happy. So, We must make ourselves and our family happy.
 - Make a habit of saying ‘no’ to the unimportant matters and spend that time with family.
 - Inner peace plays a big role in balancing professionalism and family.
 - If we learn to balance between career and family, our children will learn from us.
 
Conclusion:-
The important thing to balance profession and family is saying no to unimportant events. By planning everything before, anyone can balance both. Only one of these can’t fulfill a person. We should remember the fact that the ultimate goal of anyone is happiness and peace.
