Rocky Rhodes is a 41 year old software whizcofounder and chief engineer of Silicon Graphics. He cause quite a stir a while back when he decided to quit full time work, but he explained to his business associates that he had reprioritized his life.

And that's when he noticed the time he gave his work really was on top! It was out of order.
- God
- Family
- Excercise
- Work
So now he works just part time at the company he founded, because he wanted to ease the stress on his family. He said, I dont know if working part time will catch on, but it would be nice if more people gave more thought to things they hold dear.
