But it’s hugely rewarding as you’re fulfilling something for yourself. Niklas Zennstrom

My parents didn’t do office hours, and they did not do vacations, so if you had a problem, you could always come around.

And one thing led to another, and here I am. Margrethe Vestager

Poorly planned and stressful vacations eliminate the positive benefit of time away. The less the stress, the more likely you will experience a positive benefit from the time off.

Vince Vaughn
