Meaning: slow down from a busy schedule and try to relax and enjoy life
David: Johnny! Have you lost weight recently? You look quite tired too!
Johnny: I believe so. I’ve been on many business trips to the mainland since April. I haven’t had a good holiday for more than a year. I think I’m feeling a bit worn out!
David: That’s not very good, Johnny! I understand that your job is very important to you, especially when your boss will decide on who to promote later. But it’s also important that you can stop and smell the roses.
Johnny: I agree! I know I should learn to have work-life balance.
