Career - First one.....lot to talk

This is my first blog....thanks to one of my MBA friend who has motivated me to start this blogging (Even she does not know.. ). I thought for a moment before start entering my blog is what should be the topic...well flash in a second only one word came to my mind...CAREER.

Because it the word which makes your life and if not taken seriously can __ , as far as my knowledge is concerned. This is something which everyone agrees but i got a different thought in relation to this wonderful yet disturbing word. Should one's career be built at the cost of one's enjoyment ?

I always , right from my childhood thought and dreamt that one day i will be a successful person in whatever field i enter. For achieving this small dream i struggled (Well not to the extent of sitting under lamp or working in the day and reading in night) in the sense i used to spend my most time in reading and understanding and mostly compelting the HOMEWORK gievn by my teacher or lecturers (MBA).

Today when i lay down and think or recapitulate (My lecturer's trademark...:-)) i feel that i have not enjoyed my life to the fullest .....that was of my learning phase. Even ,worstwhile when iam working i feel the same...........am i only feeling like this or any other ? ....or am i too conscious of my career and forgot the essence of my life..........or am i exaggerating in this regard.........

Today i reach office at 9 and leave at 9 pm ...only work no other things ....very less time for other aspects which i felt i will achieve when i start earning........now that iam earning still i feel iam not enjying.....one might contradict saying we have to enjoy the work....but point is do we spend time for our personal life other than work ? ......well,lots of if's and buts.........i want to know from you how u feel.....AM I CORRECT ?
