The water lily is pretty, isn't it? Once the plant is placed in a pot/container, it needs very little attention apart from adding fertiliser once per week. It flourishes very well under lots of sunlight and stagnant water (but don't forget to add consan, a special solution to prevent mosquito breeding!)
Personally, for most part of the week, I would not have the opportunty to admire its beauty as it withers by the late afternoon. So, during the weekends and day offs, I would take time to admire its beauty under the rich sunlight. Similarily, there are beautiful things in life that are already there but due to work or other commitments, we may not have the opportunity to enjoy it. Therefore, we may like to give priority to appreciating the beauty of nature including relationships that are around us and learn to say NO, firmly and yet gently, to a full and unrealistic work schedule. It is about achieving a work life balance or integration.
