WONDERFUL HOLIDAYS

Holiday, the very word itself brings us a lot of happiness in our minds. A holiday gives us a lot of relief from our routine work.Now we have a chance to share the ideas of enjoying these holidays.It may be desirable to show that regular intervals of rest,recreation, or a change of occupation are really necessary.As the old rhyme says,

"All work and no play,

makes Jack a dull boy."

Holidays at proper intervalls are especially necessary for young people, and for those engaged in hard mental work; for continous work , without break,will injure the health and may cause a nervous breakdown. A short holiday, rightly used,will send us back to our workwith renewed rest and vigour.

"Rightly used." It alldepends uponthat. For holidays may be abused. If the holiday is spent in stupid idleness, or in a exhausting round of exciting amusements, or shut up in close stuffy rooms drinking and playing, or in any other unhealthy way, the boy or man will come back to his work tired, listless and uninterested. The holiday, instead of doing good, has done harm,much more harm than steady work could ever do.

How can a holiday, then, be best used, so that at the end of it we shall come back to our work with energies renewed and interest keener then ever? If we are students, or have been shut up un stuffy offices, we should get away into pure air of the country and live halthy, open air life, enjoying games or sports. We should avoid unhealthy amusement, keep early hours and getplenty of refreshing sleep. And we should not be completely idle. Change of occupation is a rest. And if have a little regular work to do, work that we take a interest in, it will not only make our holiday only healthier, but more enjoyable.
