Lizard Syndrome


Nobody is indispensable, however good he/she maybe. This is a fact of life that we have to believe as we believe that no soul is immortal. There are many people who live their life participating in a rat race and work for 12 hours a day or even more. One might be having a high paid job or a flourishing business and hardly spend any time with one’s family leave alone participate in childrens curriculum. One might be stretching and thus overtly stressing himself/herself day in and out, attending meeting after meeting, entertaining clients, never ending tours. Each time you might be thinking that this project can be done only by me, and hence the 12+ hour work schedule. If I do not put the extra hours the company will fall just as the lizard on the ceiling feels that it is holding the ceiling if it moves away, the ceiling will fall. Does the ceiling fall if the lizard moves away? The project will still end in time if you do not put in 12+ hours a day as the company can put one more employee in the project.

So get out of the rat race and get your life back.
