Duty to one's family is more important than personal success.
I have mixed feeling about this statement. I can see it go both ways. I agree that family is very important but so is personal success. I disagree that you should put yourself before your family, in less they are pulling you down. I think it's one of those things where you have to see what that situation is like before you agree or disagree.
1) I agree, your duty to your family is more important than personal success.
When something happens to a family members you are expected to be there for them, not be at work because you think this project will fix all you problems. You normally drop what you're doing and go help out in what ever way you can. For example, when my mom was in a car accident my grandmother left work then and there to go to the hospital, my grandfather pick me and sister up from school when he could have been making about 3,000 dollars on a car sale and my aunt left work without a word to come to the hospital. They all gave up their job in that moment to help my mother. later when they went back to work my grandmother was scolded, my grandfather lost the deal and my aunt was almost fired but they didn't care because it was family.
2) I disagree, your duty to your family is NOT more important than personal success.
If your family is always pulling you away from work for little things then they don't care about your success. Some time a family will openly say they don't think you can do it or you'll never make it to the top and when they say that then you know you need to step back and rethink how you live your life. It's one think to need you to leave work cause a family member is in the hospital but if they need you to leave work to go pick something up from the grocery store because they don't want to leave the house then there's a problem. For example, I just started selling Mary Kay and when I was thinking about it my grandparents kept saying things like "are you should you can do it?" "Make sure you still have time for what we need you to do." and a couple other things. But they were more worried if i'd have time for when they needed then what I needed.
Family is a tricky thing, When you need them they're normally there for you but sometimes all they can think of is their selves.
