@mori_mind: I used to watch birds flying overhead and feel a little jealous of them… They aren't tied to one place. They can leave, change direction, and keep going. That feeling made me think about how easily we can become tied to work too. We keep giving, taking on more, and putting the rest of our lives on hold. The Japanese expressions in this carousel are reminders to step back before that happens. To know your limits. To know when enough is enough. And to leave room for the life outside of work. Which one stayed with you the most? #motivation #japaneseculture #japanesewisdom #japan #burnout

Why are the Japanese themselves not heeding these wisdoms but become workaholics?

What is the meaning of working hard, enduring suffering, and making sacrifices when, ultimately, every one of us will die?

Joanne陈 :

Job is part of life not everything.

You forgot the most important part: "Call in sick if you don't want to go."

“Just because you can handle it, it doesn’t mean you should.” - I often say this to other people not realizing that I’ve been also taking so much that I need to tell myself the same. Time flew so fast, that I got used to always being there for every one, as much as I can not knowing that I have lost so much time and some parts of me I could never get back. So to the one reading this, it’s not bad to give, to help, to be present for others,but never forget to leave some for yourself too.

hello.kenny🌷 :

user183400184783 :

This isn’t how it is when I was living and working in Japan for 10/11yrs. The work hierarchy is so pervasive that the centre is work. It reads amazing but the reality is the opposite!

burning a candle from 2 ends actually does make the room brighter tho?
