There is a story of the juggling man. The juggler was given five balls by his leader: faith, family, friends, integrity and work. His leader tells the juggling man that these balls represent his life. He is told to keep all the balls in motion. The juggling man starts to juggle. His leader watches as the juggling man struggles to keep all five balls moving. His leader then tells the juggling man that the ball of work is made of rubber. If he drops the ball of work, it will bounce back. The other four balls are made of glass. If he drops one of the glass balls, it will be irreversibly scratched, cracked or broken into a million pieces.
