凡勞苦擔重擔的人，可以到我這裡來，我就使你們得安息。
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

星期五，好爽。
星期六，爽。
星期天，想到明天就要週一了，有點不爽。
星期一，一言難盡。
從讀書的時候，一直到大學畢業上班。
從週五到下週一。世界上沒有相同的一天，卻有著無比相似又複雜的「週期性心情」。
星期一上班，會有「牴觸」情緒，其實是正常現象。就像一臺運轉的機器，停止轉動之後再啟動，也會需要一個熱啟緩衝的小過程。
不過如果一份工作既無法帶給你發展空間，也難以為你的簡歷做背書，人際環境又無比壓抑；老闆一心想的是如何壓榨你，而不是培養你…… 哪怕 ta 嘴上說得比唱得還好聽，在旁人面前演得再好，你都會感覺到對方的虛情假意。
除非你有迫不得已的原因，不然想想為什麼要如此委屈自己？
這個世界誰都不傻。傻的是把別人當傻子。
不管是員工還是老闆，打工的有打工的煩惱，創業有創業的頭痛點。
不過只要有心，你總能找到一個平衡點，讓自己更加舒心。
人累了，可以休息一下。心累了，不妨看看能讓人心情放鬆的藝術作品。
比如 Herbert Zangs。
Herbert Zangs (March 27, 1924 in Krefeld – March 26, 2003 in Krefeld) was a German artist.
Zangs studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf together with Günter Grass.
In 1960 he won the Vincent van Volkmer Prize.
Herbert Zangs 是一位出生於德國的藝術家。與不少善用單色作畫的抽象主義畫家一樣，他也喜歡用極少的色彩（多用白色）來作畫。
抽象，是他的語言。簡潔是他的風格。
藝術家的很多作品並非在畫布上創作，而是用一些非常生活化的瓦楞紙或紙板來作畫。
人生就是要「減去」一些不必要的人、事、物，才會「加增」更多的喜樂空間。
Herbert Zangs was best known for his handmade monochromatic works which demonstrated his commitment to an improvised, informal artistic process. He went on to study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Düsseldorf in the fall of 1945, just months after the end of World War II, and befriended fellow student Joseph Beuys. The tenuous climate in Germany in the first post-war months would greatly impact Zangs’ aesthetic: his Verweißungen series—collages and paintings entirely covered in ash white paint—resemble objects found in the rubble after the destruction of war. Notable examples from this series include Rechenstück (1978), a cardboard collage covered in tic-tac-toe shapes, and Knüpfung (1958), a repurposed pillow case knotted around rows of buttons. Zangs developed a reputation as an “enfant terrible” in the German art world much like his friend Beuys, and is considered a part of the Art Informel movement in his rejection of geometric abstraction for a more intuitive approach to art-making.
Herbert Zangs decided that he wanted to be an abstract painter after a 1953 trip to the Museum of Modern Art in Düsseldorf where he first saw paintings by Jackson Pollock. Considered a practitioner of Art Informel, throughout his five-decade-long career, Zangs embraced intuitive spontaneity and placed value on the creative act rather than the final product. Working at a small-scale, using cardboard, paper, fabric, and white paint, Zangs’s monochromatic work has an off-hand aesthetic that still seems challenging today.
