Ernesto was a man who wanted to have his family well, he wanted to give them everything but he just wanted to take care of the situation, he was macho and did not allow his wife to work, he had his children in private schools, and always had a full pantry, however he only slept a few hours a day, always worked overtime and never recreated, for him everything was work, he lived to work, he did not work to live, sometimes he did not eat breakfast and sometimes only a daily meal and came home so tired that he only threw himself into bed, but not without first yelling at his wife and children for any nonsense, that if they didn't do anything, that if he was the only one who contributed, but didn't let himself be helped, one day his boss asked for help to deliver a project in which they only had one week and as a motivation he offered a good amount of money, he obviously didn't miss the opportunity to raise his hand and said he would deliver it, the owners accepted since they almost never see beyond the life of their employees and it was here that Ernesto's life changed.
He would come home and not sleep, just take energy to stay awake, and he would continually argue for them to turn on a light, working only on that project that he said would change his life, he would fall asleep in a matter of minutes and in a week he hadn't even managed to sleep three hours straight, On the last day before the delivery of the project, Ernesto woke up with a severe headache on the last day with a heavy headache and one of his hands went numb but he didn't pay attention to it and took three pills, When he opened his eyes he was on a stretcher with half of his body bent and no mobility, he wanted to talk but he couldn't either, he had given him a stroke, after so much work he couldn't do now, he had lost control of his body and now, although in the future he could recover it, it would cost him patience and a lot of help, things he had never accepted or wanted from anyone.
We are stewards of our body, of our life and we must take care of our health, we know that we must dedicate ourselves and be good at our jobs but we can't put it before ourselves, our health or our families, because when we get to the end of the road you will realize too late that it wasn't the best decision.
