As you know, if you desire the career advancement, you will have to sacrifice
your personal life. It means that in order to move forward, something must be left behind. So
you have to ask yourself: “What am I willing to sacrifice to grow? What am I willing to
release now to get closer to my career goals in the future?”. Therefore, we are here today to
talk about: Our topic is divided into 3 main parts: introduction, body with four point as well as

the way to balance and conclusion.

Personal sacrifice for career success
1. Time

First of all, you have less time for your relationship: It can be tough to balance
relationships while working on your project. A relationship usually requires a full commitment


and you’re either all in or out. If you’ve found a great partner that fully supports you in your
endeavors then be sure to give them the attention they deserve without falling off the path. For
the other folks, you can have fun as well but just be sure to separate business and pleasure
when necessary.
Besides, Free Time – The value of time has no price as it’s literally priceless.
When you stall and take your time, there’s going to be someone else who has more resources
and will take action, beating you to the marketplace. Again, if you have other commitments
with family or a day job, your free time is even scarce. Life is short and there’s only 24 hours
in a day so make it count.

Family

Secondly, to have more time for work, many people have to sacrifice their
personal happiness each day. Many husbands focus on their job all day, they usually go to
work and often do not have meals with their family. Because the workload is so much, the
wives usually have no time to care for family. It’s easy to lead to conflict among family
members because of lacking love, care and intimacy

Health and beauty

On average, a person spends about eight hours or more at work, so it's not
surprising that your job can have a significant impact on your health. Your health includes
both physical and mental health.
In term of physical health, most people at work are experiencing health
problems such as insomnia, headache, backache... It is noted that there is a relationship
between the stress at work and the state of blood pressure, heart disease, sleep disorders. These
causes may be the result of having to sit in front of a computer for long hours or heavy loads
to calves. If this situation lasts for a long time, your health will be worse and you may have to


leave your job. To improve this situation, you should have a reasonable diet, take the regular
exercises regularly , take the time to yoga or play tennis… Then you need to remember that
health is very important and valuable.
In term of mental health, your job can cause numerous detrimental effects to
your mental health. When your workload is too big (work overtime with many deadlines or try
to get a promotion…). You'll feel stressful. Enduring stress, you will be faced with
psychological problems such as callous feelings, negative thoughts in work and life,
depression, even with heavily stressful situations. To eliminate the stress at work, you need to
rearrange work more logically by clearly distinguish which one should do before, what should
do next, important hierarchical, make your time to rest, besides let's smile and chat with
friends.
Moreover, sleep is a kind of sacrifice that may make a businessman successful.
Instead of oversleeping, you will have more time to get things done and prepare yourself for
the day. For women, if you are too busy with your job to take care of yourselves, you may
look older than your real age.

Hobbies and interests

You have to work day and night because of overloading. You do not even have
time to take care of yourself, just eat it quickly and then come back to your seat at work.
Sometimes you'll have to get up very early to arrange a meeting or perform a job for smoothly.
You have to stay up all night to work, self-talk and concern about the future of themselves and
the company. So you do not have time for hobbies and other interests. To achieve big goals,
you necessarily have to sacrifice some other things.
There are many things that you want right now. You want to go shopping, you
want to go out with your friends ... But the question is - what is most important to you?
Everyone has hobbies and interests.
However, when you sacrifice it, whether you're saving time and energy for
more important things?. It will make you closer to the real goal of yourself. If you want to


succeed and get what you really want in life, you will have to sacrifice. But when you reach
your target, you will be very glad you did not give up.
Example, Kieu Thanh - impressive faces on TV with a series of role - had
shared about her efforts and sacrifices for the life acting and single mom...
She has shared: “Glory always have tears and sacrifice. I realize the
disadvantage that their loved ones have endured. I can not take care of the family like any
other woman. The days touring away from home, the late night rotation, while acting in the
late ... perhaps at the cost of the artist.

How to balance?

You should learn how to manage your time, manage your priorities and use
technology to manage your work.
Goal Setting: To start managing time effectively, you need to set goals. When

you know where you're going, you can then figure out what exactly needs to be done, in what
order. Without proper goal setting, you'll fritter your time away on a confusion of conflicting
priorities.
Prioritization: Prioritizing what needs to be done is especially important.
Without it, you may work very hard, but you won't be achieving the results you desire because
what you are working on is not of strategic importance. Most people have a "to-do" list of
some sort. The problem with many of these lists is they are just a collection of things that need
to get done. There is no rhyme or reason to the list and, because of this, the work they do is
just as unstructured. So how do you work on To Do List tasks – top down, bottom up, easiest
to hardest?
Focus on your most productive time of day: For example: Some people work
better in the morning, and some are more focused in the evening.
Manage time in increments. Play a game with yourself by competing against
the clock. Work in fifteen minute, half hour or hour intervals,scientifically it is known that 45


minutes work followed by a 10 minutes rest is the best for the average student. Give yourself a
time goal to complete a portion of a task or the entire task.

Conclusion

There are many different ways in which you can work towards advancing your
career; however, not all of these may be pleasant. Sometimes, you will have to make sacrifices
in order to advance your career, and you have to decide whether your career is worth these
sacrifices. Success has never been easy and it always comes at a price. So we should learn
how to create a balanced life.
That brings us to the end of our presentation
