　　Do You Have to Be a Workaholic to Rise High in Your Job

　　It's clear, from Supreme Court nominee Sotomayor's Senate confirmation hearings，that she has a warm relationship with her family and friends, including her beloved mother and brother.

　　But in her rise through the legal profession, she has made a number of personal sacrifices, most notably marriage and children.

　　Ms. Sotomayor's marriage to her high-school sweetheart ended after just a few years，in part, she has said, because of an excessive work schedule. "I cannot attribute that divorce to work," she told a panel on judicial life."But certainly the fact that I was leaving my home at 7:00am and getting back at 10:00pm was not of assistance in the problems developing in my marriage."

　　"I have found it difficult to maintain a relationship while I've pursued my career," Ms. Sotomayor also said in a television interview.

　　Ms. Sotomayor was subsequently engaged, but that 8-year relationship ended, too before they went to the altar. She has no children. These days, her life is "frantically busy, fulfilling and often aloof," according to the New York Times. "You make play dates with her months and months in advance because of her schedule," a friend of hers told the New York Times.

　　Earlier this week, we discussed Jack Welch's views on work-life balance. He argued that for women to rise to the top, "they've got to make tough choices and know the consequences of each one."

　　But such choices aren't just necessary for women, as Juggle readers have pointed out. Men, too, often make hard sacrifices (failed marriages, missing their children grow up) to reach the pinnacles of their careers, especially in our increasingly workaholic and wired culture.

　　As the New York Times columnist Brooks put it: "This is the story of pressures that affect men as well as women (men are just more likely to make fools of themselves in response, as the news of the last few years indicates). It's the story of people in a meritocracy that gets more Purified and competitive by the years with the time demands growing more and more insistent."

　　He adds that Ms. Sotomayor's life "overlaps with a broader class of high achievers. You don't succeed at that level without developing a single-minded focus, and struggling against its consequences."

　　I find this all a bit depressing and reductive because it seems like those who make it to the top must be, by necessity, workaholic automatons. I wonder, Juggle readers, is it ever possible to rise high in a profession without being an unceasing, laser-focused workaholic? Are there examples in your own workplaces of people who have managed that feat?

　　不妥事情狂就难攀职业岑岭吗?

　　显然，从高法院大法官提名流索托马约尔的参议院提名昕证会可以看出，她与家人和伴侣都保持着温馨的干系，这个中也包罗她深爱的母亲和弟弟。

　　但在她的法令职业生涯不绝上升的同时，她在小我私家糊口上也支付了很多牺牲，明明的是在婚姻和孩子方面。

　　索托马约尔与高中时的心上人的婚姻只一连了短短几年就走到了止境，她曾暗示个中部门原因是由于过分沉重的事情日程。她在一次关于司法糊口的小组接头中说，"我不能将仳离归罪于事情，但早上7点离家、晚上10点才回家，这种状况必定无助于认清婚姻中呈现的问题。"

　　索托马约尔还曾在接管电视采访时说，"我发明很难在追求事业的同时维持恋情"。

　　索托马约尔仳离后曾再度文定，但这段长达8年的恋情也没等成婚就已了却。她没有孩子。据《纽约时报》报导，她此刻的糊口极其繁忙、充分，经常是孤身一人。她的一位伴侣对《纽约时报》说，"要想约她出来玩的话，得提前好几个月预约，因为她的日程太紧了。"

　　本周早些时候，我们接头了杰克·韦尔奇关于事情与糊口均衡的概念。韦尔奇认为，女性要想升到高层，就必需作出艰巨的决议，并大白每个抉择的效果。

　　但正如读者已经指出的，这样的选择大概不仅是女性必需做的。男性也经常要作出疾苦的牺牲(婚姻失败、错过孩子的生长)才气达到职业生涯的极点，尤其是在我们当前身处的这种职场文化之下一-越来越事情狂，同时还要时刻保持与事情"连线"。

　　正如《纽约时报》专栏作家布鲁克斯所说的，这其实说的是压力，无论男女都受到了压力的影响(男性只是更有大概以自欺欺人的方法应对，已往几年的一些新闻展现了这一点儿精英阶级的人士字斟句酌，竞争越来越剧烈，而对时间的要求也越来越迫切。

　　他还写道，索托马约尔的糊口与很多到达很高成绩的人有一部门沟通。假如没有一种执着的专注干劲并反抗因此而造成的效果，就不行能实现那么高的成绩。

　　我以为这一切有点令人沮丧，因为看上去好像可以或许成绩大事业的人都必需得是不知倦怠的事情呆板。我在想，假如不充当永无休止、精力高度会合的事情狂，有没有大概在职业生涯中实现高升昵?读者们，你们身边有没有能做到这样的例子?
