Q6. Family life or profession? How do I decide priority?

My musings: My experience tells me if you have to do well in your profession….you do have to sacrifice somewhere in your family life. People will say…one can draw a balance…and even quote their examples …saying that I have done well in my profession…and I have maintained a balanced family life….my question is not about balance…..but how do I decide priority? For example..What should I attend…an important meeting where my presence will influence decisions in my organisations favour and thus help my growth…or attend my daughters stage performance that will bring utmost happiness to her? How do I tackle these dilemmas on a day to day basis? ANY ANSWERS.
