Harpitnas

I took a day off from work today and spent my whole day lazing at home. Today was harpitnas :-D.
I have had my boss permission and my salary cut, and I'll pay today's off with another days hard work. I promised.

Actually, I feel so sick and tired of working and I need this day off badly for stretching and refreshing my body, mind and soul in order to gain some work spirit that seems fade away.

My Plan for today was that I'm gonna finish reading those books I've bought a couple months ago. I managed to spent 12 hours in my room reading books. You know, since I sank into this seven-to-five-monday-to-friday world, I hardly have time doing such thing.

Plan was plan....

In fact, I didn't finish even a single books. I ended up taking a nap and surfing in the cyberworld : facebooking, blogwalking..

what a waste.

but during this wasting time, I found an enlighten speech regarded my work-off, coming from the former CEO of The Coca Cola Company, Mr. Bryan Dyson.

30 second Speech by Bryan Dyson (CEO of Coca Cola)

"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you're keeping all of these in the Air.

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.

But the other four Balls - Family, Health, Friends and Spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it."

WORK "EFFICIENTLY" DURING OFFICE HOURS AND LEAVE ON TIME. GIVE THE REQUIRED TIME TO YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS & HAVE PROPER REST.


Short? It was. it only took 30 seconds , yet meaningful...
at least, it eased my guilty feeling for escaping from work today :-D
