1. Emma and her friends are watching a street parade now —

You can't have a happy family life and a successful career at the same time.it's all about psychology. a human brain is fascinating: it carries out complex calculations, takes part in learning foreign languages of any level of difficulty, etc. but, when it comes to dealing with emotions (and that's what causes most problems in family/career situation) - the brain simply fails to function. scientists from many different spheres have already (and repeatedly) proved that multitasking disturbs the thinking process and physically destroys the brain. it's really not easy to stay focused on the presentation at the meeting at work, when you're constantly keep mentally returning to your child, who's sick at home and waiting for your to come back. or vice versa: can you truly enjoy a family movie night if you remember that your report can't be done following the deadline? of course, it's depends on the person's feeling itself. someone may be a mediocre employee and quite an indifferent family member - and he/she still will be thinking he/she is having a happy life. or a person may be an awesome parent and a successful top-manager - and still not satisfied.  so, i think, there's no absolute answer to this question - because family happiness or career success can be measured differently by various people.
