Career Spotlight: Take Time for a Real Vacation

In the article “Career Spotlight: Take Time for a Real Vacation”, Kim Clark points out that most people do not take “real” vacations (June 27, 2005, Para, 3). Despite the fact that Americans give up 3 vacation days a year in average, 10 people out of 100 even contact with the office every day during their vacations (Para. 3). Stacey Moran, a psychologist who works for a Travelers insurance company, suggests that workers should go as far from the company as they can for vacation, or call the company on a regular basis instead of being anxious all the time (Para. 6 & 7).

I think it is a pity that nowadays people need to “learn” how to relax. Maybe the society is responsible for creating such an anxious atmosphere among people, or it is the people who should try with effort to let go sometimes.
