All Work and No Play Makes Jack a Dull Boy

Hello everyone, I completely agree with the saying "All work and no play makes jack a dull boy".

In today's monotonous routine we hardly find time for ourselves which directly influences the efficiency of the work we do. From a kid to an adult everyone requires recreational breaks to boost his/her energy levels and get back to work with the much needed enthusiasm. Engrossing ourselves into any task 24 *7 without any place for breaks and rest may hamper our health in the long run.

Involving ourselves in co curricular activities can lead to a magnificient increase in our social skills too apart from reducing the stress levels and refreshing our mind.

Hello friends!

I think 'all work and no play' is really a bad thing. We should always pick out time for recreation. All the days 24*7, it is not necessary to work. We should also have a little time to be relaxed. It makes our body enerzied and active, to go along with the tough schedule in our lives. So, be active.

Thanks.

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.

All the opinions for this position are merely opinions. I found this discussion by putting in a search on Google. I was looking for something specific to do about it. When it comes time for me to take a break I'm too exhausted to figure out what it is that would make it a break for me. Yeah, that's how far I go into the land of work before I realize I've gone too far. I just don't think I can get out of here. I live by myself. There's no one here to reflect how I'm doing. I just don't know what to do to get out of this.

Calvin, get out of the house, "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" was used in "The Shining". The place was haunted in the movie but cabin fever will drive you nuts.

Get out even if it's just to a state park, take a long walk. You can't find someone to share moments with by staying home, ride a bike, get out and do something.

I agreed with all of you but I think that all work makes jack a dull boy because children are made to study continuously but study is not the solution there should some or the other physical activities.

Thanks.

I think that all time work is also not good for us and all time play is also not good for us a person who never plays and never enjoy his life can not be ever happy or good in studies.

I think that a person who always work and never plays becomes a dull person and becomes insecure he feels he is always hurted by everyone and becomes unhappy and dim he can never be happy in his life or never be good in studies.

There are many great personalities like STEPHEN HAWKINS or HELEN KELLER whose life only bounded on a wheel chair who never got to have any sort games for their refreshment have established themselves as prominent persons in the world. This is an example where persons without any recreational activities in their lives have gained success in lives.

No work and No play make jack a Dull boy, actually make me a dull boy.

NO WORK NO PLAY.

Totally bored I really need a restart button in my life.

My father want me to be a armyman but but but conditions apply as I said I'm a dull boy So for me its never. I also want that by don't know where my life going on. Actually I'm a confused person really.
