Resting after a long day of work is essential

Photobucket

There are days when we, as able-bodied employees, put our best effort to work. It can take a toll on our eyes, our ears, and the rest of our body (depending on one's profession in the workplace). Some of us might've gotten enough sleep before we left for work and others probably got the lackthereof. And then there are those that are stuck in between a double-shift schedule taking a nap in the middle .... Through it all, no matter how much or how little we put in our daily work tasks and duties, we must take time to rest. It could be minutes, a few hours, or maybe even longer. Whichever the case, rest is essential. It'll bring a recharge for the next round (bringing about the energy to keep going on and on), a state of relaxation (to rid of any added stress whether big or small), and the power to be mentally focused (rather than tiring out and losing comprehension of what's going on at the job) ... I must advise however that during rest, it must be at a place that is free from the noise and activity going on - plus it must be at a location that's safe from harm and disturbance. For example, we can't sleep in a subway train and let someone take our belongings or sleeping in your car at a public parking lot in a mall or grocery store (in which your chances of being carjacked is likely to happen). Your best bet during work is resting in your vehicle at breaktime the employee parking lot (depending on how safe and secure your workplace is). But being home is highly recommended as that's the best spot to be at for convenient resting ... As for my friend and co-worker Ninh (pictured), he took advantage of his rest during a 1 1/2 hour ride home in which I was driving the company van. With all the time he's invested in his rest, he performs his tasks with good results. Take it from him, rest is indeed essential.
