doubts resulting from group sharing on 0309

1. Everybody knows that it is very important to strike a balance between work and life. But what should we do to attain the balance? Answers: taking up sports, exercising, developing other hobbies, exposing ourselves to something else bsides our profession, etc.

2. As we are seen as "devoted" and "innovative" teachers, it is likely that we bear more burden and responsibility in our work place. Is it possible that we think of ourselves as more important figures than our colleagues (subconsciously)? Is this the force that keeps us working and working, even at the expense of our own health? Answers???

3. The ideas/ideals shared in this group have an influence on our work to some extent. Is it possible that some of the ideas/ideals spread here are "wrong" but since we are just like birds of a feather, we only receive positive feedback and this justify our deeds? Should there be a devil's advocate to challenge us? Answers???
