HOME IS WHERE THE HEALTH IS
Meaning:  don't work too many long hours--it might not be good for you:

"While you may consider yourself lucky to be working long hours -- or working at all -- in the current economy, your diligence may be undermining your health in the long run.
People who work an average of 11 or more hours per day have a 67 percent higher risk of suffering a heart attack or dying from heart disease than people who work a standard seven- to eight-hour day, according to a new study in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Those who work between 10 and 11 hours per day have a 45 percent higher risk.
Work schedules may be an overlooked and underutilized early warning sign for heart disease, the researchers say.

If doctors simply asked their patients "How many hours do you work?" during office visits, an additional 5 percent of the people who have heart attacks each year might be identified beforehand as being at risk, says the lead researcher, Mika Kivimäki, Ph.D., a professor of epidemiology and public health at University College London.
Routinely burning the candle at both ends may not increase heart risk by itself, but it may be an indicator of an unhealthy lifestyle in general, according to experts who weren't involved in the research. The study didn't show a cause-and-effect relationship between long hours and heart attacks, they point out, and the apparent link could be due to a number of complicated health factors, including stress, lack of exercise, and eating high-calorie takeout rather than healthy home-cooked meals."

AN INSPIRING STORY
Meanwhile, in the UK, a boy has half a heart--and lives:
"A U.K. boy born with half a heart has defied the odds by living seven years longer than doctors thought he would, The Daily Mail reported.
Sammy Hori was expected to die within a few days of his birth, but now he enjoys playing football, despite only having one heart ventricle.
His parents, Eileen and Ken, who live in Cambridge, England, knew of Sammy’s condition even before he was born. Sammy has had three open heart surgeries.
“It is incredible watching him playing football with his friends as we never expected him to live for more than a week,” said Eileen, 41.
When Sammy was born in 2004, he weighed 6 pounds, 13 ounces, and he was diagnosed with a double outlet right ventricle heart, meaning he had one pump instead of two.
Eileen said Sammy will always live with half a heart, but he can still have a normal life. If his ventricles in the right half should ever fail, then a heart transplant would be his next option, she added."
