It's not only working parents who are looking for more hours in the day;
不僅是上班族的父母覺(jué)得白天時(shí)間不夠用，
people without children are also overworked, maybe to an even greater extent.
即便沒(méi)有孩子的人也會(huì)工作過(guò)度，或許程度更嚴(yán)重。
When I was in business school, I attended a Women in Consulting panel with three speakers:
當(dāng)我還在商學(xué)院讀書的時(shí)候，參加過(guò)一個(gè)咨詢行業(yè)的女性座談小組。
two married women with children and one single woman without children.
3個(gè)組員里有兩個(gè)已婚有孩子，一個(gè)單身沒(méi)孩子。
After the married women spoke about how hard it was to balance their lives,
兩個(gè)已婚女人談起平衡生活多么困難，
the single woman interjected that she was tired of people not taking her need to have a life seriously.
單身女人突然插話說(shuō)，她煩惱的是人們從沒(méi)認(rèn)真想過(guò)，她自己也有生活。
She felt that her colleagues were always rushing off to be with their families, leaving her to pick up the slack.
她覺(jué)得已婚的同事總是趕回家和家人相聚，卻把她留下加班。
She argued, "My coworkers should understand that I need to go to a party tonight
她爭(zhēng)辯道：“同事們應(yīng)該理解，我晚上要去參加一個(gè)派對(duì)，
and this is just as legitimate as their kids' soccer game
這和他們?nèi)タ春⒆拥那蛸愐粯雍锨楹侠怼?/div>
because going to a party is the only way I might actually meet someone and start a family so I can have a soccer game to go to one day!"
因?yàn)橹挥袇⒓优蓪?duì)，我才有可能真正遇到某個(gè)人，組建一個(gè)家庭，在某一天去看我孩子的球賽！”
I often quote this story to make sure single employees know that they, too, have every right to a full life.
我常常講這個(gè)故事，確保讓單身的員工知道，他們完全有理由享受充實(shí)的個(gè)人生活。
My own concerns about combining my career and family rose to the forefront again when I was considering leaving Google for Facebook.
當(dāng)我考慮離開(kāi)谷歌去臉譜網(wǎng)時(shí)，關(guān)于事業(yè)和家庭的平衡問(wèn)題又冒出來(lái)了。
I had been at Google for six and a half years and had strong leaders in place for each of my teams.
我在谷歌待了6年半，各個(gè)部門都有強(qiáng)有力的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者。
By then, Google had more than 20,000 employees and business procedures that ran smoothly and allowed me to make it home for dinner with my children almost every night.
谷歌已經(jīng)有20 000多名員工，業(yè)務(wù)流程也非常順利，我基本上每天晚上都能回家和孩子們一起吃晚餐。
