“As you will see, there are no conclusions or recommendations, just my observations. The chapters are freestanding. You can read them straight through or jump in anywhere. Everyone has life lessons and stories. These are mine. All I can say is that they worked for me.”

“If you love what you do, you can balance and you can juggle (work and family). You have to set your priorities straight. You can't just work, work, work.”

Heidi Klum (1973) German model, television host, businesswoman, fashion designer, television producer, and actress

From an interview for Entertainment Tonight 5 November 2008 http://www.etonline.com/news/2008/11/67315/index.html
Context: If you love what you do, you can balance and you can juggle (work and family). You have to set your priorities straight. You can't just work, work, work. Because then all of a sudden, you don't have a family... then why did you work so much when you're all by yourself in the end? So for me, I always wanted to have a family, for me that was the most important thing, and I found a man that wanted to have that with me.
