About This Quote

Work is good. It is good for our health, it can lead to more success, it can improve our quality of life, and it can help us to advance in our careers. Without work, we cannot advance. However, all work is not equal.

Sometimes we need to completely rest, recharge, and relax before we can continue with our work. Using both the virtues of work and rest will keep us on track with our goals and keep us productive.
