Creative idleness

"I did not find the fountain of youth," Liang Chye said. "I was borned with it."

We all know that there is no real fountain of youth. Growing old is a natural process. It happens to all of us. What does actual age matter when we have a personality which is alive and interesting? We will always seem younger than we are to people.

Having leisure time is one thing, using leisure time is another. Don't let time slip through our fingers like sand. I use leisure time constructively. It is my opportunity to refresh myself emotionally and mentally. Our mind and body both benefit from the change of pace.

After a period of creative idleness, I find that I think more clearly. I return to my work with new vigour.
