Poll: Which One is the Rubber Ball?

This poll was posted in reference to the post ‘The Ghosts of Years Past, Present and Yet to Come’ (I know you haven't read it!!). I guessed 2 to 3 votes and 2 votes there are!! Unfortunately it’s the wrong answer. The right answer is supposed to be work (which I guessed by the way), because doesn’t matter how many jobs you lose or quit or are fired from, you can always get a new job. It’s not the same in case of the other 4 – family, friends, health and integrity. If you lose them, you don’t always get it back, and even if you do, it will not be the same!!

Actually everybody I know guessed ‘family’. I think because according to our Indian upbringing, family is like a safety-net, doesn’t matter how young or old you are!! Why did I guess ‘work’? Let’s say it’s life experience. :)

So there you have it: Work is expendable.
