Chances are you have heard or read this proverb at some point.

It means that without time off from work, a person becomes both bored and boring.

Those who understand this take time to rest and rejuvenate.

But resting is enough. We got to give a break to parts of the brain that we tend to use often so that they don’t wear out.

Winston Churchill said it the best.

“A man can wear out a particular part of his mind by continually using it and tiring it, just in the same way he can wear out the elbows of his coat.”

“It is not enough merely to switch off the lights which play upon the main and ordinary field of interest, a new field of interest must be illuminated.”

Let’s use this as an inspiration for Illuminating a new field of interest.
