I would pick love. After love is achieved you will have a strong enough grounding and the support needed to go places in your career too.
But I'm not gonna choose either... I'm having both! =D
If your career is going well, then surely it is time for you to improve the other areas of your life in line with it! Take more time to yourself. Career is important, but the fact that you're posting that suggests that you are not happy enough. Maybe it's time to try out something new or more of something you already enjoy.
enjoy =)

I agree with you. Once you have a strong love life, you will have all the confidence and strength that you need and can be successful in career too. But then if success is a relative term. Defining success will defer from person to person.
My husband is very ambitious and has been a very bright student in his academics. He loves to be in the top of the line in what ever industry he takes. But then he always says that if things are not fine at home he would never be peaceful in his office.
Many anyways vary from person to person

Vivek, I definitely agree. Success is relative like so many other important aspects of life, and I reckon that being happy in love will make you appreciate the success that you have in work so much more - as you will have someone to share it with, someone who will be joyed with you and give you the will to achieve even more, inspiration and motivation leads to success in a great way - in a way making love the thing that I would value above all else. But that's me personally. =)
Great to hear that your husband is able to be at the top, knowing that you are there for him. =D
Aslia, I got really unhappy at times because I wanted to find love... it's really hard.. and frustrating! In the end I found love when I gave up the search!! I love love, unbelievably much more than work! And my work is great! That's me, if you're similar, then just meet new people as much as possible. Never expect that you will meet the right person but let it happen naturally. You have to just to go out there and mingle. Never worrying if people do or don't like you until you know you are in love, and then trusting that love finds a way. =)
The great thing is though, that through work you'll meet a ton of people! I don't know where you work, but that's generally the case. =)
So you don't have to choose work or love, choose both! Like me!! =D

i think the reason why some of us have one and not the other is because we are busy concentrating on just one and have no interest in the other at that time. but it could also be because we just do not have the right opportunity. i feel that if we're lucky and if we try ourselves, we might be able to have both and yes, both are important to us.
love gives us motivation to do something, to be someone and career helps us be stable in life especially financially. but there are sometimes the unfortunate who are not able to have both. since your career is good now, as others have suggested, i too suggest on building up your social life. somewhere out there, there might be someone waiting for you.

well i've never had any love relationships before i got married too. marriage was the starting for me so it's not like i'm experienced:P i feel that i would enjoy single life too but now have to focus on family. i agree, being with friends and family is a great thing. and i agree with bharatkumar too. we tend to appreciate things especially if we can't have them. and, i too love gaming hehe sadly i don't have xbox but i do go online to play sometimes.

In my opinion my family is more important than my career... My career obviously is needed to live, but my family will be there forever and the job won't. I enjoy the time i have with my family and they will always have higher priority than work.

Without a good career, I don't think I can have a good love life.
Without a good love life, I might still have a good career.
Many people are having a good love life, but they never appreciate of what they have at the moment. They just keep complaining about their love life.
For those who are rally bad in their love life, they just have to pray in the hope the God can their situation.
In what Chinese said, we only can meet a right partner for our Love Life. We can not ask for a right partner for it.

You can have the best of both. It may not happen at the same time but eventually everything will fall into place. Yes, i agree with you that there are people that have a good career but dont have a good love life but that's because they are so focused on their career that they forgot about their love life. If you want to have a good career and a good love life, you must learn to balance everything especially your time.

i think we can choose both of them career and love life because i experience that two. I dont have my good career and also my lovelife was not too much happy this time. I have lack in both in the reason that i need a lot of money i am not stable and to love i think it was associated to that. From having a good career then the good fortune or our love to follow. And it was more romantic and happy than you dont have money and also you love will not in good standing. This is just according to my opinion.

sometimes you need to prioritize something in order to be successful with one. for me i would choose love, but when the right time comes. as of now, i am more focused on career and love is a little bit on the side.

Being the un-ambitious girl that i am, i would choose a good love life... specially if it's destiny who's asking as it would be a good long-lasting love life. I would support my lover/husband.. And if need be, we'd both be working to earn our living but career doesn't fulfill happiness whereas love does :)
