Topic: Do not overwork yourself (Read 641 times)

That's the lyrics mate, take some breaks to rest when you've felt that exhausted ness so that you can be able to structure with new and better ideals with the potentials to bring a more better outcome. Humans ain't robots so let's always understand that the necessity to rest is regenerating energies for a new or further episodes of life.

You are absolutely correct, although is not really our fault,
We are trying to maintain our financial stability because if we don't do that, nobody will do it for us but it's also essential not to overwork ourselves for many reasons like our wellbeing etc, if we overwork ourselves we will fall sick which we will still our money to treat ourselves, we won't be healthy to work in order to save money and put food in our table, that is why there is online business, so we are encouraged to have online business as a side hustle incase the other did not favour us or we can't continue with it again, we have online business where we can work from home and anytime we like we work, even if we don't work everyday no body will question us, and it also give us time to spend with our loves ones, also it allows us to relax, which is very important to our health and it gives us peace of mind. So we shouldn't use for the sake of the way this country is and the pressure in it, to overwork ourselves, we should always remember that " HEALTH IS WEALTH"  we have to stay healthy and fit in order for us to work.

OP, for peso to be able to utilize their body system for old age via becoming fit in handling things depends on how the use their youthful energy in doing.

At peso youthful age, it is expected of you to have the right frame of mind, invest, work intelligent, drink excess water and have some exercises twice a week or so. You can't fail in doing so and expect your old age to be rosey for where you go d dey, dey enjoy. it is not that way. Anything wey you supposed achieve na for your youthful time and if you miss am, na for old age you go suffer am.

Na why everyone is been advised to hustle and at the same time work intelligently, exercise and eat healthy food. No go carry highness kill yourself because enjoyment no d finish for this life. Peso gats to think of their old age

After reading some previous thread I found out we can simplify the topic into  work smart method rather than working hard without any tangible result. Even if you're working smart you will have to put in more effort when necessary to achieve your aim and goal.
This very word seem to make some persons lazy, feel comfortable and also underperform. We shouldn't in any way give room for Mediocrity because you don't want to overwork yourself, if we can't live the lifestyle we want then no need to stay stuck with this bullshit.

In essence let your health be a priority, work  till you achieve your goal don't relent and keep feeding yourself with unnecessary motivation that won't yield any result. As far as, you know that your efforts will surely yield result overtime and it doesn't in anyway affect your health work your ass off. The successful people we see with result, went extra mile to make there dreams into reality, they overwork themselves at certain level. A timber man works tirelessly (overwork) , with little or no result to prove, likewise a Manager of a company that spend extra time working, creating and analysing means for the growth of the company, it same overwork but the difference is the channel to which those energy, strength and ideas go. So you choose carefully for yourself or remain stucked.

We're here for the money but going extra length to work without appropriate guard is out of control. Accepts our fate and quit any side hustle that makes us overworked ourselves in the system. If there's something you should stop is overworking yourself because our health comes first despite the huge earnings we're able to secure, of what use are these huge figures accumulated without us having a sound health? So we should always take good care of our health and visits the hospital once or twice a month for all round body checkup.

Yes o don't over stress your self in work , nothing come out ,can u imagine some people will climb palm tree cult it over work them self yet nothing come out ,ever since I grow I always tell God to help me let me not kill my self in anything work stress, because nothing is absolutely 100%okay why killing my self in work

You will die and the same work that kill you will still be available
I told one of my brother to resign in a very hard work he was doing ,he accepted he went for leave and came back again still in that same work,before two weeks he came back the heart start paining him ,he was rush to the hospital,the doctor confirm that his heart has damaged , finally he died ,only God knows that too much work is not too much money,and I can't work any where that will be eating my flesh God forbid it

I like the topic ,do not overwork yourself,so that your days will be long.
Fast death associates with too much hard work

Im this life you come and you go. So do what makes you happy that is all that matters. If overworking makes your comfortable and feel like you have been productive then dont stop it. Normally there is nothing that dont have a disadvantage and advantage. Just kike any other thing overworking have some advantages in ones life. Because you are putting extra time to what you are doing and this can yield maximum result for any business, work or creation. It has repercussion as well which is the disadvantages but if you are willing to accept it and you fell happy then continue.

Yes, over working one's self is not the right solution, being hardworking and smart is, we should also read the differences. Like our people say "Body no be firewood" it gets to a point where the body shutdown and in that state the person gets incapacitated to carry out the functions so instead we should limit our work done.

A total over work of an individual depends on the philosophy of life that individual conceives in the society he/ she inhabits. A life at sixties (60s) is an age of preparation towards retirement. So, at best, issues such as; shelter, children's education and permanent source of foods have been resolved. Mostly the children are self dependent and supportive in life.
So, at the age of seventies (70s) and beyond, it's the children who would provide the person in question about 70% of his/her needs.
But in the African continent, Nigeria in particular, the aged parents still carry the entire burdens of members of a household including grandchildren. So the issue of over work is very much visible on the part of the aged ones.
Therefore, there are cases of system breakdown leading to hormonal imbalance, weak erection, strokes, diabetes and several others.
This is due to the pursuit of money in all ramifications especially at odds hours with out rest and restraint.

Overworking oneself doesn't make you rich. It may even add to ones problem. Imagine you over work yourself and later fall sick, the money earn will later be spend on the sickness. Getting right information to grow your business and learning to manage your daily expenses can be the key ways to cope with the present hardship instead of overworking yourself.

Na true talk say body no be firewood, yes we need money to carry survive because say no be won carry last and hunger fit kill us but no mean say even if our body no strong, we still dey work make e no be say na our own na e bad pass or fear of wentin people go talk, money dey before dey born us, money go still dey if we still die so if we sick now, nobody go help us, even if dey help it only takes the grace of God to be fine so make we no do pass ourselves or do to impress anybody.

First of all, you have to know the meaning of retirement, which means the age where you need some rest because you are already growing to the old age in life, and if you leave long, you must encounter this issue of retirement. That is just the truth, but the main thing is to find a fine solution to the issue, which is by working smart. That is a solution from my angle of perception because if you work smart, you will create a plan for yourself after retirement, which is what many find hard to do, but if you are a person who works with passion and is ready to work smart, you will always have a plan after retirement.
 
Retirement simply means you are tired, but even though you are tired, you also have some needs that you will need to clear without the help of someone else, so there are many strategies that need to be followed to be successful after retirement. 

The thing be say because of the struggles for the belle Kingdom e dey very hard to actually meet person wey still get time to really acknowledge these vital notes about our  health concerns because truth be told it's of the most vital importance and if we no dey careful to know this then all the repercussions na for our old age we go still enjoy am because e no go dey normal when we don exhaust and distabilize our body at young age and then come face breakdown.

No offence, but I think this thread was way to short to convey the message you had to spread. Anyways, from the brief details, I get that people of this age spend their health on their money and then spend their money on their health. That's sad, but it's what one should do to survive isn't it. We just have to balance out health and out finances. There are many people out their who are successful without health issues. We can also be like them, cause we really d need to work hard towards our goal. Imagine being mediocre cause you couldn't add an extra hour or at least 30 mins to the little you have to do. That's definitely not what we want for ourselves.

So, let's us work hard and also take care of ourselves

Overworking oneself is not good health wise but in this current economic hardship with the high cost of living it creates a necessity to over working oneself but however it should be done in a strategic manner. Strategic in the sense that, after a long period of overworking we should create a space for rest, taking a leave to go for a bed rest. Today, me I no fit blame anybody wey the over work their body, some persons no get helper na them be their own helper and if them no work like that with all the responsibility surroundings them, them fit no meet up.

With the way the country be like this, my brother only source of income no go fit meet your needs oo so I no go fit blame anybody wey say em wan over work emself up because things don change. If you no double hustle how you wan take survive na, e no easy for anybody oo na why people don dey enter as many business as possible just to make sure say dem put food for table. Everyday naim the cost of living they increase.

Long time ago I saw an old man hawking on the road, I felt so bad although my the journey, a trip I was supposed to be happy because I was going to explore places but I never felt happy after seeing this old man. then my mentor noticed how I felt and what he told me took the best part of me and I can't ever forget that. he said, boy.... you see him, if you don't kill the pleasures of your youth days and make it life, you will probably hawk same way.

So, from that day I prefer to work harder than my age, my time etc life is better at your youthful age and you must use that time of your life to work so hard in order for you never to suffer.

what I'm saying essence is you can skip sleep today but it will never kill you. you better work harder than yourself now than do at old age.

   You are absolutely right there about health being wealth, some people underrate their  health, constantly putting their lives at risk, just to make fun. I have seen some twitter videos where young boys set thier selfs in fires just for the TikTok views. I don’t see inflicting pain on yourself anything fun. The body is just like every other engine it becomes rusty when you don’t service the engine, same things implies to our body. Our body needs all the rest it can get, we can’t cheat Mother Nature, Stress is responsible for 75 to 90 percent of visits to primary care physicians. Stress contributes to heart disease, diabetes, obesity, premature aging and a number of autoimmune diseases.Depression and anxiety also are common responses to chronic stress and fatigue. Big goals require good health. Taking it down a notch may in fact help you get where you’re going without having a breakdown along the way.
   If you are going without sleep and drinking 12 cups of coffee and four energy drinks a day to do your job, you are setting yourself up for physical collapse. Adults need 7 to 9 hours of sleep a night (yes, 7 to 9 hours, not 4 to 5) to get truly restorative sleep.Yes, some people can do with less. But don’t fool yourself into believing you are one of them if you are chronically exhausted. If you don’t think you have time to sleep those “extra” few hours a night:, consider that you will be more productive, smarter, and more creative if your brain has the sleep it needs.

Some people think making money is by working day and night, them fail to know that health is wealth.  When the body is so stresses up it breaks down and when it happens like this their won't be energy to go after money , you can even spend all your money if time is not taking to put yourself in a better condition.  I know  hustling for money is very good but it is important people have understanding of taking good care of themselves.

Without even much preaching, we all know that there isn’t any need to over works oneself by the truth is that in most cases we are left with no choice but to over work ourselves and even this over work most time isn’t just all about physical works but also mental work and we should try to maintain balance in all spheres of life so as to be able to maintain the other phases.

I don’t know for other countries but my country didn’t provide any favorable conditions for the common man and with the current situation of the country, it seems the government is against seeing the common man living a good and health life but derives pleasures in the pains and sufferings of the common man which isn’t supposed to be so in an Advancing country like mine
