One day Einstein met an old friend of his in the street in New York. “Mr. Einstein,” said the friend, “you need a new coat. Look, it is very old!” “It doesn’t matter,” answered Einstein, “Nobody knows me here.” A few years later, they met in New York again. Einstein became a famous scientist, but he still wore the same old coat. Again his friend tried to persuade (劝说) him to buy a new coat. “There is no need now, since everybody here knows me.”

But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?
