People tend to say that we need a break. To pause for a while to rest, rethink and/or to simply stop. But in this ever changing world, is still their a room for a break? Everyday we go to our work and look in desk... depressed? Wether we are or not. It does not matter, we need to work. We work... Hayyy... Come to think of it we are charged by the hour, so everytime we don't work, we do not get paid. In reverse we have the conception that we only get money if we work, so break times are losses in our part instead of gains... In this very demanding world, gone are the days when life and living is just but a stroll in the park. We hafta work our *sses out in order to survive. So do we really need a break if our society expects us not to have one?

I think we all need a break from time to time, just to simply recharge our batteries. I you work hard and long with no breaks at all, your work becomes less effective and therefore not worth the extra input. So, I say, take a break, rebalance, rewind and get your batteries recharged for new zest in your workplace. You will benefit more in the long run both healthwise and satisfaction wise. Brightest Blessings.

Yes, people need a break. It's the only time where we can breathe and relax erven for a short while. It's like our charger. We need to get charged everyday by taking breaks, so that we can do whatever we want to do efficiently. Without breaks, our output would get worse and worst, until it's not even worth doing it because it's so bad na.

Thank you very much and your response has been + rated... I get your point, but how about in crunch times? When stoping is not an option... Up to what extent should we work non-stop?
