10．When you catch a cold，should you still go into work or have a rest at home？Sometimes this decision can actually get quite stressful．On the one hand，going into work is the conscientious （尽责的） thing to do．On the other hand，going into work could make you ill for longer．You probably won't be able to concentrate and do your work well and you might make other people ill．So to help you decide，let's take a look at some of the factors．
First of all，before you go into work，ask yourself whether you are actually going to be productive．Do you have pressing work that really can't wait？Is your job so easy that you can relax while working？If going into work might make you worse，perhaps you had better have one day off and then work probably later．
Secondly，ask yourself whether you are contagious （患传染病的） and your suffering is caused by a virus．Viruses are highly contagious and can spread through the air．If you cough close to someone，you can very easily give him or her a cold．As a result，you'll end up infecting your colleagues，thus dramatically damaging the productivity of the whole workforce．
Another reason to take time off work is that it's important for your health．Even if you can work in your current condition，that doesn't necessarily mean that you should，as paying no attention to your symptoms could lead to you getting worse and catching other illnesses．Your immune system is weakened when you are ill，so if you travel on the bus with other possibly sick people，you can end up getting other serious infections．Worse still，if a viral infection makes it to your brain，it can result in serious brain damage．So listen to your body and take its warnings seriously!
Though it's better to take time off work in the vast majority of situations，you're most likely not to do it．Why？Because there is an important meeting tomorrow，or you're trying to impress the new boss，or you have a huge to-do list．In short，you're probably always feeling as though you have a huge mountain of work to do．However，in fact it was probably this pressure that caused you to get ill in the first place．So think it over：Can you really not take a single day off work for the sake of your health？If not，then there's probably something very wrong with your work-life balance．
