July is for some a vacation with the kids or worry about what to do with these, since most spend all day at school while parents work. But it is also a time when men and women begin to question their list of goals built on the eve of another new year. It is a period that is common to hear in any environment, lines like this: "now, it's the end of the year, wanted to have money to spend Christmas in A and do it ... and maybe this and more .... ..."" and so many people begin to collect, review the current job, thinking about overtime or take a little work over the weekend, and even review the possibility of doing another post or maybe a technical course, given the recent appreciation of this by his practical approach. Thus, dedicated to a greater workload on the professional area, with the goal to have more financial conditions not to live with quality of life and personal satisfaction, but to have more and live up to the expectations created before the consumer world in which we live. In reflecting on the time that the Brazilian working to retire, it follows that men will spend 35 years and women 30 years of his best years. Working in a job, the best age range, 20 to 50 years, where the most striking and important events of human life take place (first loves, marriages, children, friends, colleges, travel, grandchildren ...) and will be they live it? Or are they so concerned about having more and more to get to yours? It is not unusual nor rare to hear people speak in the office, both men and women who are questioning themselves to see their friends with children and they focused on career after having children or men who face the loss of a job or workplace wonder if it really was worth so much money to stay away from family and have not seen their children grow. As is commonplace in social clubs and religious meetings, to see grandparents behaving as parents of their grandchildren, not wanting to miss a moment as a form of internal psychic compensation. The capitalist economy in the world today live in a society in constant transformation of social values, cultural, religious, culminating in the construction of a personal value which does not is questionable whether it is right or wrong, appropriate or inappropriate, a couple chooses not to having children or having children only after the post-doctoral each. So as not to be married, be it male or female, age 30 and children can not be synonymous with failure in the sentimental. However, one should pay attention if the current job is to satisfy personal goals, and marital or family is built to meet the demands that are created through the advertisements that link to gains personal satisfaction of goods and concrete materials. Must question what value the profession and current job brings the quality of life and level of happiness coveted. Financial gain will be the middle or the end? It could be the union of these two in the search and the achievement of the objectives set? It depends on what is most important for each person within eight areas in which one lives: work, education, health, social environment, family, friends, leisure and spirituality / religion.
