Priortization

For late adolescents and people in twenties, it is a hard decision to make when it comes to choose between family, friends and their partner. All three have got their importance's in an individuals life. Parents are the backbone of life. From birth, education and till everything parents are the backbone. From advice's in career counselling to spending time at the evening plebeians gatherings, friends become an integral part in life. Partners, apart from evening park walks and coffee, walk close to heart although in some cases, they don't turn out to be life partners. After everything an individual needs time for himself. Some me time is very essential, even if someone gets to sleep very less he needs that quarter hour before sleeping to think about himself. So here come's the problem of prioritization. Who should be given priority? Is it family, friends, partners of self that deserves priority?

My roommate, Siddharth Choudhury suggests a theory of 'Three Thirties and a Ten'. What he wishes to convey is that family, friends and partners are of equal importance and the trio needs 30% weightage each. The remaining 10% is the me time. He says although the weightage of me time is lowest yet that must be the most efficient utilization. If we fail in the utilization of me time then we shall be lost. He says that is a person can't give time for himself than surely that person won't have any time for others too. The trio of family, friends and partner should be maintained equally and it should be watched that one doesn't supersede the other. 

I completely agree to his postulate but I believe in occasional transformations in the weightage. Well at this age if the question and opportunity of career pops in, than the me time weightage should be increased. If our parents get sick or they need us to take our stand in the family, than the weightage for family should be increased. If our friend is lying in the hospital bed or is depressed sitting beside the lake, than without giving a second thought we must rush towards him. If our partner is lonely then its time to be beside her, taking evening strolls with our hands around her waist and making her feel secured. What I believe is just a minor alteration to  the prime idea of my roommate. After all, this stage passes through mood swings, affections, responsibilities, career leaps and repents; yet this remains as the happiest time throughout our lives.
