“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"

Mr. Philip had been working as an Accountant for the past 3 years. He was an extremely sincere and a diligent worker. But there had been a drastic drop in his performance since last few months. Worried about this declining graph he tried his best to figure out what had been going wrong for some time. He realized that his life had become too droning with the same routine each day. But he very easily ruled this out because he thought this couldn’t b the reason coz after all he was doing something that he always wanted to do. Mr. Philip always wondered how his neighbor Mr. Twain ,who had joined work with him, had almost the same workload as his, and whom he considered to have almost similar ability quotient ,seemed to be so happy, so 'not-tedious' and have maintained a consistent performance graph.

One day Mr. Philip thought of asking Mr. Twain the secret of his smooth and steady life. Mr. Twain smiled and replied "who said I never felt that my life had started becoming monotonous...I did but the only difference was that I din allow it to carry on with its intensions...Along with my work I also started hunting out for things that could make me indifferent to my boredom...I joined an Ngo for the welfare of orphans and started going out for their activities during a part of my leisure time..Instead of just sleeping at home on Sundays I chose to go for outdoor sports with my friends..I did not bring a drastic change in my life...Just a small change that cud keep those frowns away from me and make me work with the same enthusiasm as I did on the very first day of my job".

Moral -

Life is so the same every day that it feels boring. But it is not just a feeling its reality. But this is something that life has not gifted us but we have chosen for ourselves. Life has bestowed upon us countless opportunities but we have chosen to set out a barricade for them.
Then why nag about life being so monotonous when it is so by our wish?
This reminds us of the very famous saying that goes this way 'All work and no play make jack a dull boy'.
And day by day we are fostering that 'Jack like personality' in us.
But it is time to toss it out. Let us open doors for the amazing things that have not yet been a part of our lives
