Been so fatigue that you don't want to read anything, write anything or do anything productive? You Just want to veg. That was how I felt last night after a week of hard work. I felt, somehow that, I earned the privilege of doing nothing.
I was fortunate to have worked with many very smart and good people along my career. Some of them I call my mentors, and we became friends.
One afternoon long time back when I was still a new college grad, I was chatting with our architect, Mr. E., who was one of my mentors. Mind you, most new college grads are super chatty because they have so much to learn about everything.
I said I couldn't stand my cousin, because he was so lazy.
He asked, "How was he lazy?"
I said, "on weekends, he would sleep until noon. It's such a waste of time, because when he got up half of the day is gone."
Mr. E. said something like this (which I couldn't remember exactly): Why was it a waste? He needs to sleep, then he should sleep. Life is a dance. Take it slow and enjoy as you go.
At that time it was an eye opener to me, because all my life, people were telling me to work hard and don't waste time. I guess it was just a different perspective.
