Are you busy? Do you lead a busy life? It seems we get busier and busier in our lives. I hate being busy. I¡¯d much rather have nothing to do. Being busy makes me stressed and I end up making mistakes or forgetting something. Who¡¯s the busiest person you know? I bet he or she is really stressed. The busy people I know are always looking ahead to their next holiday... and then in their holiday they are busy doing other things. I think we busy ourselves with too many things. We need to learn to relax and take things slowly. Even at work we have to look busy, even if we¡¯re not. When the boss comes, we tell our friends, ¡°Look busy!¡± That¡¯s silly. It would be great if the word ¡®busy¡¯ disappeared from the English language.
