28、seum opened soon after the holiday season. The idea is for people to think about laziness, and perhaps change their behavior and lifestyle throughout the rest of the year.

29、ad thing. She added, “We always think about laziness as an enemy of work.” Ms. Arrieta may not be pushing for a shorter working week, but she could have a point in that we might require more free time than our jobs allow us.

41、ethods to reduce stressD Time is not a fixed object. The idea of time in any given culture is largely a product created by beliefs, traditions, and values. In some cases, time is thought of as formless and is based on what is going on at the moment, rather than as a planned object. Others regard tim

Someone with a focus on the future will hold schedules and times to be very important, as they are necessary for moving on to
