Nothing in Life is worth taking stress

The very first rule of life if we want to live it well and healthy is to not take stress. Yesterday one of my work colleague suddenly collapsed and he had a brain stroke. He is a young guy age 47 years and surely that's not the age where his family can afford to lose him. It was quite a shock when this news came in as on the outside he looked all fine and there were no physical symptoms where one would expect such kind of a collapse.

He was rushed to the hospital and the doctor did a surgery after that he has now been sedated and on ventilator in ICU. That must be so stressful for the family to see him going through all this. When one person gets hospitalized it is as good as the whole family is hospitalized. Because no one can then have a normal life during that period. Everyone's lives in the family gets disrupted.

He did not have any underlying conditions so Doctor still needs to let us know what triggered the condition, but the Doctor says possibly it is high level of stress. And yes this person would always take stress of work. He is a Sales Manager, he has high targets to achieve and he is always stressful on that part, specially now because the markets are not doing very well. For a long time he was jobless, for almost 2 years and then he got this job with our company. His stress level had already started building up during his jobless days and then after he got the job, he wanted to prove himself and for that he would commit to any extent.

I think we humans need to understand one thing that we are just humans and not super humans. It is good to set high goals in life but not unrealistic goals and then to achieve them you have your own health at stake. It is not worth to stake your health for achieving a higher status in the job or to earn more money. We are living a life, we are not running in a race.

The family is very tensed and that is very natural. It is not a very good state as of now. The other thing we are worried is that the medical facility here is not of very high standards but as of now he is in no condition to be taken to India so without any choice the family has to get his treatment here. We are all very worried for him and praying for his good speedy recovery.
