A workaholic is someone who chooses to work hard for long hours and always thinks about work. It is good to work hard. Working hard coupled with diligence in what you do will earn you success.
However, there are some who work so hard so much and find it difficult to spend time their family. They let their work take up most of their time without paying much attention to their kids, spouse or loved ones. Such attitude can cost you your marriage or even your children.
Workaholic parent(s) is the reason some kids are much closer to a nanny than they are to their parents. It is same reason that spouses seem distanced from each other with communication which occurs only when there seems to be something serious to be discussed.
No matter how much you love your work and want to succeed at it, never forget those who are important in your life. Remember, there is life after retirement.
