It is very possible to be passionate about something and still get burned out on it.

Needing a break doesn’t mean you don’t care. It just means that you’re human.

We’ve found this crab on our street in Cambridge. It had attracted a lot of local attention! Anyone know what it is? And what we should do with it ? We think it’s a Chinese mitten crab.

Leaders, taking time off for rest or hobbies does not make you look weak. It makes you a role model.

If others see your career path and think that it doesn't leave time for life, it may seem impossible to follow. But, by showing balance you can open up possibilities for others.
