38、old daughter gave him a 22-point list outlining all the events he missed so far during the year. As the CEO of the $2 trillion global investment fund PIMCO, Mohamed El-Erian shocked the finance industry when he quit in January. El-Erian said it was about a year ago when he was repeatedly asking his

39、daughter to brush her teeth, but she wasnt listening. When he asked her why, she responded with a list of 22 milestones he had missed: like the first day of school and the first soccer game of the season.“And the school year wasnt yet over,” El-Erian wrote. “I felt awful and got defensive: I had a g

40、ood excuse for each missed event! Travel, important meetings, and urgent phone call, sudden to-dos. But it dawned on me that I was missing an infinitely more important point.

41、was not making enough time for her.” El-Erian explained he was struggling with the same thing so many parents dowork-life balance. Dads who are quitting their profit-making jobs to improve work-life balance is a subject that is getting more traction as some high-pro have recently written about their

42、 experiences. Last month, former MongoDB CEO Max Schireson wrote a blog post for Time about his decision to step down from the companys top job. He wrote that he struggled to make time for his three children because he was flying around half a million kilometres a year for work. “I was not

43、 with my kids when our puppy was hit by a car, or when my son had an emergency surgery,” Schireson wrote. On an overnight flight to Texas he woke up in Arizona to discover the plane made an emergency landing and some traumatized crew members had to be replaced. He decided it was time to address his

44、work-life balance. Quitting is something El-Erian and Schireson were financially able to do, but El-Erian recognizes most people dont have this luxury. He hopes companies will pay attention to improving work-life balance for their employees. El-Erian now manages “a portfolio of part-time jobs” that

45、dont require as much travel. He alternates mornings with his wife taking their daughter to school and he often picks her up from school. “So far, its been the right decision for me,” he wrote. “Im so grateful that this is providing me greater opportunity to experience key moments in my daughters lif

51、money or jobs.CRecently, a small group of birdwatchers spent three weeks around Mount Vernon. They were busy counting wild birds on Mount Vernons wetlands, south of Washington, D.C. They began in the middle of December and worked until the beginning of January, 2015.The birdwatchers were among 70,00

52、0 volunteers who collected information for the National Audubon Society, a U.S. conservation group. They counted birds in more than 2,400 areas in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean Sea and other parts of the Americas.The Audubon Societys first “Christmas Bird Count” took place 115 years ago i

53、n 1900. At that time, a man named Frank Chapman suggested a new Christmas tradition that people count birds instead of shooting them around the holiday.Harry Glasgow has taken part in the Christmas Bird Count for the past 10 years. This year, he was one of the volunteer birdwatchers at Mount Vernon.

54、“I think its a tremendous use of a lot of unofficial talent around the nation to keep track of birds. Birds are one of the surest indicators of the health of ecology.”Last year, the bird count recorded over 66 million birds of 2,403 different species.Gary Langham is chief scientist with the National

55、 Audubon Society.“The Audubon climate report says that half the birds in North America 314 out of 588 species are seriously threatened by climate change. The impacts sort of cut across all birds, all sizes, all kinds, all places.”Information from the bird counts has shown that birds are staying fart

56、her north during the winter months because of warmer weather. Birdwatcher Jaime Reidy has noted the difference close to Washington, in the state of Virginia.“You get to see them atodd times of the year, a little earlier, staying a little later.”Gary Langham says other conditions are affecting bird p

57、opulations.“You can imagine the birds that live along the beach or along the rocky shore line as sea levels are rising around the world. That is impacting them, you know.”David Yarnold is president of the Audubon Society. In his words, “Christmas Bird Count data is becoming important not only in documenting current climate change, but in predicting the future effects of climate change on North American bird populations. If we know what to expect, we can
