Balancing Work and Life - Cruel Reality

I have seen my parents working diligently for 30 years. I don't want to work for money till old age. But this is life. Cruel reality of life is, you need to keep earning.

It is not until 2015, that I learned about work-life balance. My life was directed by my work. Then I got married and my family started grabbing my attention. That's when I started to feel about life.

Work is part of life. We will not live a good life without work. On other hand, taking rest and enjoying life is important.



There are different thoughts. Some says, love what you do, do what you love. When you love your work, it won't be boring. But my point is, whether I love to work or not, I need to earn from my work. At that time, you are adding stress with your love for work. And stress will destroy your whole life.

Take this COVID-19 pandemic as example. People are loosing their jobs. Good, efficient workers are not excluded from the firing range. So, they loved their job, performed well still their jobs are in the front line of firing.

Pandemic happens rarely, but we have seen many economic recessions in almost every decades.

So, whether you work for life or from your love, you need to balance your work-life. We need to keep learning new skills so that you can keep moving with multiple career. On other side, you need to keep adding life to your work.

Make both work and life enjoyable and keep shining.

Investors Role in Corporate Governance - Survey Findings

I conducted a survey on 2010 for my graduation research. A part of the survey was focused on investors' role in corporate governance in Bangladesh. The investors are directly affected by the corporate governance. They also have responsibilities. Here I have described the survey findings. Investors Attending AGM or EGM It is surprising that only 14% of the respondents attended any AGM or EGM and only 2% ever voted for electing or removing directors. It indicates that most of the investors don’t have interest in performing their roles or responsibilities in corporate governance. Their only motive is earning money. They hardly care about the performance of the companies. Participation in Initial Public Offerings The respondents were assumed to be secondary market participant but 84% of them were found also active in primary market. Not only they use their own BO account for applying in Initial Public Offer (IPO) but also they operates multiple BO accounts in others names. On average e...
