However, the advantage of being busy is the taste of leisure Busy life can make people live a full, affordable, valuable and meaningful life. Because only when you are busy can you make progress, do something and achieve something, which you can't get in your leisure time; Leisure can make people live a relaxed, free, interesting and charming life, which is not available from busyness.
If busyness is creating life, then leisure is enjoying life.
People should be busy, not too busy; People should be idle, not too idle.
When people are too busy, they are easily nervous, irritable, physically and mentally exhausted, and have no time to think calmly, let alone enjoy life. Japanese can be said to be the busiest nation in the world. Nearly two-thirds of Japanese work more than ten hours a day on average and take less than ten days off a year. Because of too busy and nervous work, many people suffer from diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease and gastric ulcer, and national health has turned red. 10% of male deaths are "karoshi".
When people are too idle, their nerves will relax, and they will feel idle, empty and bored, or lazy, or greedy for pleasure. Children who pray and prodigal children are leisure. They have plenty of money, time and energy. They don't have to run for survival, and they don't have to create for happiness. They enjoy life and degenerate their souls among flowers, birds, insects, fish, dogs and horses.
In modern life, when dealing with the relationship between busyness and leisure, people tend to pay attention to one thing and lose the other, which is mainly manifested in being busy without leisure.
People who are busy and have no leisure are called "yuppies" by western countries. They crazily regard work as the fashion of the times, and think that hard work can reach the peak of success, and rich material enjoyment is a happy life. However, due to work addiction and hard work, many yuppies suffer from various psychological and physical diseases. To this end, some western governments have to stand up and publicize and educate their citizens on how to relax. The Japanese Labor Bureau issued a series of posters to persuade employees all over the country to take more vacations. One of the slogans is: "Let's work together to realize a society that works five days a week." Some countries have passed laws stipulating that you are not allowed to work on rest days, otherwise it is illegal. Thus, leisure is necessary and sacred.
Some people say that leisure is the free space of life. Only when you are too busy to have leisure can you lose your spirituality and forget the basics of life.
Of course, work is also sacred. Idle people and busy workaholics are life extremists.
The French philosopher Bergson said: "Tension and resilience are two complementary forces launched by life." Being busy is the best combination of relaxation and relaxation of life rhythm, the rational use of tight and loose time arrangement, and the best state of gathering and dispersing energy and physical strength.
Mao Zedong is a master of dealing with busy and leisure. He often talks with some people about philosophy, literature and other issues when he is busy, and usually likes to take time out to read some idle books, so that his brain can rest, his nerves can be relaxed, and the tense pace of life can be effectively adjusted.
It can be seen that leisure is to be busy better.
Dr. john coleman, former president of Harvard University in the United States, used his vacation to go to Philadelphia as a scavenger; Later, on another holiday, he joined the ranks of street vagrants; His last holiday before retirement was working as an assistant to a restaurant chef in a hotel. He is busy in his spare time in order not to be bored and flustered because of leisure, and not to be depressed because of leisure. Instead, I use my relaxed, peaceful and calm mood in my spare time to do what I can't or can't do when I am busy. It can be seen that being busy is for better leisure. Busy is conducive to creating life; Leisure is conducive to regulating life. Creating life requires adjusting life; Adjusting life is conducive to creating life. Lee Yakoka, a famous American entrepreneur, is praised by Americans as a "national hero in business". Supposedly, he should be a busy man, but his experience in dealing with busy and leisure is worth learning. He said:
"As long as you can concentrate and make good use of your time, you will succeed in business-in fact, you will succeed in everything you do. Since I went to college, I have been trying to do my homework every week, trying to spare the weekend time to be with my family or have fun. I will never work on Friday night, Saturday or Sunday unless I have to. Every Sunday night, I concentrate on planning what to do next week. This is basically a habit I developed at Lihai University. "
When busy, you should concentrate, work hard and pay attention to efficiency. When you are busy, you always think about the fun of leisure, so you are not busy. When you are free, you should focus on leisure, such as shopping, outing, listening to music and so on. If you always worry about unfinished business in your spare time, you won't have any fun.
Busy and leisure should be organically combined. Advancing in a harmonious pace of life on the road of life is conducive to work and physical and mental health. If we ignore one thing, putting the cart before the horse will not only affect work efficiency, but also affect the quality of life.
