“It is not enough to be busy;so are ants. The question is: what are we busy about?” Henry David Thoreau
There is a saying, “if you want to get the thing done, give it to the busy person.” Are you the person that your superiors and other people alsway ask you to do things for them? You are forever busy and seldom have time of your own. It is time now for you to slow down a bit and ask,” What am I busy about.?” Are you busying to fulfil other people business and needs? Are you doing what you are doing because you want to be accepted by your peers.
Like the saying above, ants are also busy, but what are you busy about? Do you have a plan and goal that what ever you do is leading you to your goal? If not, perhaps you should take some time to lay out your plan for yourself, your loves one and your family. Many people having been busying for their whole life to make a living. Before long, they realised that they had missed their children childhood years that they did not have time for them. Soon they also realised that their children had reach teenage years and tehy were not there during their college graduation. And very soon they realised they had lost thgeir golden years and nithing was achieved for themselves.
It a pity that most people live through live like ants without knowing what they wanted. Take some time off today to paln for your next 5 or 10 years so that when times passed, you have no regret on your work.
Think about it.
