With my wife’s strong encouragement, I started taking off holiday weekends. 在我妻子的强烈的鼓励下,我开始度假日周末。
By relaxing and enjoying time with my family over these extended weekends, 在长周末里，与我的家人一起放松和享受,
it not only enhanced my relationships and brought more enjoyment 1 into my life, but it also recharged my batteries and my work productivity improved. 它不仅增强了我的人际关系，给我的生活带来了更多的喜悦,而且这段假期也让我可以充电，我的工作效率提升了。
Through my journey, I have learned that I must take time off and that the best time to do that is when everyone else is taking time off. 通过我的一路旅程,我知道我必须休假,而最好的休假时间是，其他人也同时正在休假。
While one could argue I am giving up market share, and I might be, it’s okay. I’m willing to give up a little market share in order to enjoy my life better. 有人会说我正在放弃市场份额,情况可能如此，但没关系。我愿意放弃一点市场份额，为了更好地享受我的生活。
Just like the Energizer 2 Bunny, if you want to keep on going, your battery must be fully 3 charged and the best way to maintain optimal 4 power is to recharge it by taking time off regularly. 就像劲量兔电池一样,如果你想继续前进,你的电池必须完全充电,而保持最优功率的最好方法是让它定期休息。
When you are fully charged you will be able to tackle tough assignments with all the energy, stamina 5, and the mental focus you need to be successful. 当完全充电时，借助于所有的能量,耐力和全副精力你将能够解决艰难的任务。
We all need sufficient down-time for rest, relaxation 6, and rejuvenation 7; time to play with family and friends; time to love and laugh and live. 我们都需要足够的停机时间来休息、放松和恢复活力;需要时间和家人和朋友玩乐,需要时间来爱来欢笑,来生活。
Now with all this said, I feel I must make it clear as I did in 10 Tips for Balancing Your Career and Family that working 40 hours a week is the break-even point. 现在说完这些以后,我觉得我必须弄清楚一件事，就像我在《平衡你的事业和家庭》一文中提到的10个小贴士,每周工作40小时是收支平衡点。
In today’s world it is virtually impossible to get ahead financially working only 40 hours a week. 在当今世界，每周只工作40小时，几乎不可能获得财务成功。
The key for each of us is finding the right balance between work and play. I have found that the right balance for me is working 50-55 hours a week. 对于我们每一个人来说，关键之处是在工作和娱乐之间找到良好的平衡。我发现我良好的平衡点是每周工作50 - 55小时。
This allows me to pursue my goals while at the same time enjoy my journey. 这允许我追求目标,同时享受自己的旅程。
So, let me encourage you to slam on the brakes tonight after work and enjoy your weekend. 所以,我鼓励你今晚下班后好好调控一下,享受你的周末假期。
