财富忠告：如果你有一个和睦的家庭，工作时，你的精力会更集中。

尼勒曼（ 捷蓝航空公司 CEO ）

如果你有一个和睦的家庭，工作时，你的精力会更集中。

求得工作与家庭之间的平衡。

尼勒曼：我是个敬畏上帝的人。我有生以来得到的最好忠告来自我们教堂的主教Gordon B.Hinkley。2001年，我们正准备上市，我当时沉醉在金钱、权力和荣耀的光环之中，是他让我回归了本性。他在一次宗教会议上的演说提醒了我，他说：“一切都是为了你的家庭，你的关系。你必须寻求这些与工作之间的平衡。”

为此，我制定了能与家人在一起的原则，以防止别人侵蚀我的时间。我尽量腾出周末的时间。我尽可能在晚上按时回家与家人一起习读经文和作祷告。我尽力在孩子们放假时带他们出去过上一个好假期。这些原则对我的生意起了正面的作用。我亲眼见到那么多的人忽略了他们的家庭。现在，孩子给他们惹出了麻烦，他们不得不在工作上分心。如果你有一个和睦的家庭，工作时，你的精力会更集中。

Balance your work with your family.

I’m a God-fearing guy and the best advice I ever got came from the head of our church, Gordon B. Hinkley. It was when we were going public in 2001, and I was caught up in the money, power, and glory. He cut me right down to size. In a conference where he was speaking, he reminded me, “It’s all about your family, your relationships. You’ve got to balance that with your work.”

So I set rules to be with my family and to keep everyone from encroaching on my time. I keep weekends as free as humanly possible. I try to make it home in time for nightly Scripture study and prayer as a family, and I try to make sure to take some good vacations when my kids are out of school. Those rules have had a positive effect on the business. I’ve seen so many people who have neglected their families. Now their kids are giving them trouble, so they’re distracted. If you have a closer family, you can be a lot more focused when you’re at work.
