Don't Work Yourself to Death

A few days ago, I heard this piece of news in CNN reporting about one Japanese who literally worked to his death.

This Japanese, an employee of Toyota Motor Corp worked non-stop everyday and clocked more than 100 hours of overtime every month. It was reported that by the time he came back home, he was sometimes so tired that he hardly had strength to carry his kid and just fell asleep. One day, he just collapsed and died of a massive heart attack.

My first reaction after hearing this piece of news was thinking of Sam who seemed to work equally hard. Well, my only advice : "Take it easy, don't work too hard but work smart". You know what, work can never be finished. You complete one, the next one is already there waiting for you.
