Are you busy? Do you lead a busy life? It seems we get busier and busier in our
lives. I hate being busy. I’d much rather have nothing to do. Being busy makes
me stressed and I end
up making mistakes or forgetting something. Who’s the
busiest person you know? I
bet he or she is really stressed. The busy people I know are
always looking ahead
to their next holiday... and then in their holiday they are
busy doing other things. I think we busy ourselves with too
many things. We need to learn to relax and take things slowly. Even at work we
have to look busy, even if we’re not. When the boss comes, we tell our friends,
“Look busy!” That’s silly. It would be great if the word ‘busy’ disappeared from
the English language.
