Arianna Huffington: Don’t work too hard.
In a LinkedIn post last year, The Huffington Post president and editor-in-chief
(главный редактор) Arianna Huffington revealed (рассказала) that she’s
often asked if young people pursuing (преследовать) their dreams should
burn the candle at both ends (работать, не покладая рук)?
“This couldn’t be less true (совсем не похоже на правду),” she writes. “And
for far too long, we have been operating (работали/жили) under a collective
delusion (иллюзия) that burning out (выгорание на работе) is the necessary
price for achieving (достигнуть) success.” She says she wishes she could go
back and tell her younger self, “Arianna, your performance will actually
improve (улучшатся) if you can commit (возьмёте обязательства на себя)
to not only working hard but also unplugging (отключиться от интернета,
гаджетов), recharging (подзарядиться), and renewing yourself.”
