Helen Hayes on Rest
“If you rest, you rust.”
–Helen Hayes (1900-1993)
American actress
Academy, Emmy, Tony, and Grammy winner
Give more evaluation…
Do your actions…
- create a positive buzz about you and your work?
- make others want you as a part of their team?
- make your employer cringe at the thought of losing you to a competitor?
- make your customers (or colleagues) excited about referring you to others?
You want your actions to scream value without the need for you to say a word.
This is what creates true economic and job security – the value you and your team create for others
This is care. (what it’s all about)
When you have the opportunity over the next few days, consider adding the four questions above to the first day of your monthly planner moving forward. Then, each month, give yourself a little (objective) attention by reviewing them and creating an action plan to improve in each area where you feel you should.
Easier said than done, still needs to be done.

There’s a sense in which it is true, cause we need to be busy, to renew life, to achieve and keep moving.
On the other hand, there’s a real place for rest in life. That’s why we need periods of vacation, short breaks, etc. At the end of one’s career, won’t we need to take a rest? I think we do need to slow down, then, go easy, relax and retire in the twilight years, as we cannot achieve then, what we could easily do, now. In life, there’s time for every purpose; a time to work and a time to rest!
