539 - Spending Time with Family Updated: 2009-12-18 08:00:26 Description: Slow dialogue: 1:22 Explanations: 2:52 Fast dialogue: 12:53 Claus: Go home. You need to spend more time with your loved ones before they report you missing. Marcia: This is the busy season. Do you think I have time to stop to smell the roses when I have work coming out of my ears? Claus: It’s true we’re busy, but you get too wrapped up in your work. How old are your daughters? Marcia: They’re six and nine. Claus: Right. Before you know it, they’ll be grown and you’ll have missed out on their childhood. Take it from someone who knows. Don’t take your family for granted. Marcia: I know you’re right. I need to spend more quality time with them – just as soon as the busy season is over. Claus: Time slips by while you’re not paying attention. Look at me. I worked my butt off to get where I am now, but at what cost? My wife and I are practically strangers and I barely know my children. You don’t want to end up like me. Marcia: So I should see you as a cautionary tale? Claus: Yup. Consider this a public service announcement. Script by Dr. Lucy Tse LISTEN NOW | DOWNLOAD |
