Work and family aren't a strict either/or — you can balance both.
Tips
usage
Often used to criticize oversimplified thinking. Classic phrasing: 不是非此即彼 ('it's not a simple either/or'). Related: 黑白分明 (clear black-and-white) describes moral clarity, not binary choice.
memory
非 (not) 此 (this) 即 (then) 彼 (that) — literally 'if not this, then that.' A perfect compact formula for binary logic.
