All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

We should not always be working. Unless we can enjoy some form of recreation, we become stale and our work suffers in consequence.

I really think Andrew shouldn’t waste his time playing tennis when he ought to be studying for his examinations.

But he must have some sort of break. Than he goes back to his books mentally refreshed. This isn’t a case of all play and no work, don’t forget.
