All Work and No Play Makes Jack a Dull Boy

All work and no play makes jack a dull boy, stands true. Children sit and study consistently in order to top schools, yes they are very useful and but just an entry in the best institution. 'No play' sense in not only physical fitness and an inactive minds but also an overall development of a person. It consists of skills like communication, etiquette, etc.

An interviewer knows all your intellect, your command on the subject because that's what brings you there. On the contrary he is in the quest of such an individual who stands unique in his way. So that are your skills that presents you there and not the rote learning.

Working too hard and taking no time to have fun is bad for you. It is not good to work all the time. Everybody needs a certain amount of recreation. One must find balance between work and play. We should make at least some time for playing as well. If you work hard all the time and concentrate soulfully on work and leave no time for yourself to have fun then you become dull and boring. "All work and no play makes JACK a dull boy" is used to encourage people to have some fun in their lives. This proverb is to warn someone that they will not be an interesting person by working all the time.

No it is not necessary that all work make and no play makes jack a dull boy. It depend on you how enthusiastic you are about what you are doing. Here play means you are taking break from work. But if you are so desperate for any topic and you will not gonna feel you monotonous. You will take that particular as a play (play does not only mean that you have to go out & running, playing carom and all. Actually it is the necessary one which is used as a repeaters or you can say to regenerate your interest) you will start doing your job with fun & that will be your play in that case.

Hi Nandu I join my hands towards your view. Exactly the restless mind will soon rest in peace. So health is for most important to do our job well. If we are fit (both physically and mentally) then we can crack the job easily. So only even industries conduct some fun events and outings.

I am happy to taking initiative to this topic. In my opinion absolutely all work and no play makes a person dull. Because of restless work our mind will feel some stress. So to overcame this situation we have to play for some time. Then only we feel relief, otherwise it makes us dull and dim.

Well I think that this is true, all work and no play makes jack a dull boy. As a student, it is important for me to do well in about everything. Our total marks are based on our academics, sports, arts, singing, and dancing skills. So if one is very good in academics, but not in arts, they suffer. So we should not only concentrate on our studies, but also on our physical activities because this is the age when we can play and when our body goes through changes to face which, we need stamina and immunity.

Lastly, I should say that life is all about creating a balance.

No, I completely disagree with the topic statement, I have seen many successful people who never plays a game, neither indoor not outdoor. Actually, games do improve our mind power, we be focused in our daily work too. But many dull players we see in real life with lesser smartness and lesser management skill.

So, what is the definition of dullness? It depends on the situations. A single person cannot be smart in every aspect.

Still, some human finds work as a game, they play their own work, they don't any games to play, as they can find happiness in their work.

Hi Friends.

It is a great to disscss on such an itresting topic.As you all know every thing present in world has its other side also, if one side is good than other side must be bad and vicevrsa.This is also with the continous work, if not work continosly we are not able to achive our target. So achieving your target you must work continuously. But continuous work does not mean you have to work for 24*7. you should decide your working hours according to your capacity and interest. Apart from work you should spend time for your friends, family, Health, sports etc.

Yes I totally agree with the statement because in today's world deteriorating the mounting stress in everyone's mind is must and should. So playing makes one physically strong and fit and mentally morale and competitive. It helps to reduce stress and cope with our problems. Or else a person becomes mentally weaK and unable to manage with lifetime problems. They become distressed in case of any minute failures and indulge in unwanted actions and ill-feelings. And such type of misleading actions can be soiled down with appropriate physical exercise.

Yes, I agree with this (ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES A DULL BOY). It is exactly correct because nowadays we are looking that many parents only concentrate on their children study apart from sports so what are happening with children they are deprived of different sports. So parents should give a preference to play with the study not only education.

And also with playing, sports children become a healthy. As old people are saying "health mind living in health body" so with a sports children create own personality.

That's it. THANK YOU.
