Just enjoy your busy life

This is an anecdote about Charles Lamb (1775-1834), an English essayist.
He worked for the British East India Company in 1792 and worked for 33 years.
That means most of his works came out during his work life.
But he could only write after work because of his work.
"How nice it would be if I had free time to do whatever I want?"

So he always looked forward to retirement.
Finally, he finished his work life at the company.
On his last day at work, Charles Lamb was excited.
He was happy to think that the time he was bound was gone and he could devote himself only to writing.
It seemed like he could be happy forever.

Many of his colleagues congratulated him.
"Congratulations on your honorable retirement.
Now that you are writing works that you used to write only at night during the day,
your works will shine even more."

Charles Lamb, who was in a good mood, said wittily.
"Writing in the sunlight is naturally brighter than writing in the starlight."
It must be.

However, three years later, Charles Lamb
This letter was written in a letter he sent to his old colleague.
"Being idle is much more painful than being busy.
Every day, if you just hang around doing nothing, you may find yourself
I think you start to abuse yourself.
I've only now realized that good ideas come when you're busy with your work.
Please keep this in mind and live a busy and meaningful
I hope you will spend your days."

Rest is sweet because it is not 'everyday' but 'deviation'.
If rest becomes your daily routine, it will no longer be sweet.
Instead, you will yearn for your busy days.
So to create a thrilling deviation in the future,
Just enjoy your busy life today.
