I get the "...life is a competition" part but taking a break is also important because you need to stay healthy generally to be able to live life in the first place.
Mental health issue is on the rise and the more serious we take it the better for us. Many atimes our bodies give us signs too,so we need not ignore them. Like I am doing presently -resting from work loads and all.
Health is wealth.
