- Falling in love can be a distraction Haven’t you heard stories of students who were doing well at school but fell in love and lost concentration? Some even got pregnant in the process and had to drop out of school. You may have also heard or read about high-flying workers who fell in love and jeopardized their careers by failing to find a balance between their relationship and career advancement.Even if falling in love might be one of your life ambitions, it could well be counter-productive if not well managed. Falling in love could make you lose focus in life and jettison your priorities, career objectives, and other life goals. Some people have actually neglected to care for their children, aged parents, or the elderly in their families because they fell in love with someone.
