Stepping Away Is Maintenance, Not Quitting

You don’t get sharper by never stopping.
You get duller, slower, brittle.

The best ideas rarely come at the desk.
They come on the walk, in the shower, half-asleep.

Rest isn’t the opposite of the work.
It’s the part where the work settles.

Stepping away isn’t quitting.
It’s maintenance.

– Serguey Asael Shinder
