When I say “work is rest”, some people will say
I’m crazy. But that’s the way it is—we need to rest. Without rest, we will die.
At a minimum, we won’t have the energy to work.
Nobody forces us to be so stupid about this. We
just don’t know how to rest properly. We rest in ways that are not restful(宁静的), even stressful. Some of our ways of rest interfere(妨碍)with our working energy. Instead of sleep, we go to the movies and
clubs, drink or have a smoke with friends. This is because we misunderstand the
meaning of “rest.”
We should remember that rest means not working,
both physically and mentally. Only then is it real rest. When tired, rest. It’s
simple. Actually, dogs and cats are smarter about this than people. People are
stupid enough to rest in ways that destroy their capacity(能力)to work.
Rest and work always go together. There must be a
balance: work during the day and rest at night. When the sun comes up, one has
plenty of strength to work well and enjoy it. In other words, rest is a kind of
investment, so that one has the strength and energy to continue working. So we
need rest to work, recognizing that we can’t have one without the other. Rest
is what recharges our batteries. We need enough time to charge up adequately to
the tasks we undertake. Thus, we need to rest correctly; otherwise, illness
will occur and also can affect the efficiency of our work.
Rest can’t be skimped. Without enough rest,
good work is impossible. This is why we say that rest is another kind of work.
