Work and Have Fun!

So now you got your bonus. What's the first thing that comes to your mind? Let me guess: Shopping? Bar hopping? A date? Or vacation? Maybe the amount may dictate your choice. Certainly they're all expensive. So let's say you'd pick a vacation. It could bring you all the way to Bora, the usual place to go (although I haven't been there yet), an enormous expense for an average guy on the street. But surely, vacation is a must. No need to explain why. The pressure is just too high we need it to survive! It can be a cheap ride to your village which is 7 kilometers away from downtown, after an hour ride from the city proper. You will reach your place with your head dizzy because of the winding road. And a trip to a splendid island after a long tiring travel to achieve your very first instant rest. It's a vacation that gives you time for yourself, family or friends.

It relieves your lungs and mind from the steaming filthy air on your way to work and from your nagging companions. It directs you to look at that horizon you love to watch. Then you begin to love the cool waters you used to bath when you were young. Nature has a purpose and being with it puts you and your mind back to the basics me life. All is with simplicity, easy to understand, sedentary. You enjoy. You laugh. And by the end of your day off, you're back to your seat. There comes the feeling of dissatisfaction at times. It's pretty natural but I'd like to insist this part that is often neglected. There should be a good balance in working and playing or resting. Would you wish to lengthen your vacation like a month or two, it will make you dull, or worse, you'll be fat. You don't exercise at all and you take more pleasure eating due to idleness. Your sense of motivation is weakened and you're likely to end up borrowing because you ran out of cash and not so much of a healthy life.

We need to work, it makes us a living. We need to play, it makes us alive. Then we got to have plenty of rest. It gives us energy. Those three things plays an important role for us to keep up. Work. Have fun. That's the way to go.
