When you're new at a job, you might feel like you have to prove yourself. You might feel like you have to make a good first impression right away or else you'll be back on your behind without a job. If you're a certain kind of person at a certain kind of job, you might feel like you need to come out the gate swinging, ready to make changes, and take no prisoners. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. Maybe they hired you for a specific purpose and you want to waste no time getting right to it.

Everyone is allowed to do what they want on their birthday. It's our designated day of the year when we can be selfish and give in to our desires. We have 364 other days of the year to be selfless, brave, and giving. We can have one day where we want to eat a whole cake and then do so because nobody can stop us. But most of us birthday-havers don't have such complex requests. Maybe we just want a dinner with a few of our friends and maybe a toast. That's not so much to ask for.

Growing up we are always told to go above and beyond. Coaches teachers and parents tell us to put in 110% effort and to always leave everything on the floor.

The thing about a break is that you don't have to work. That's kind of the very definition of a break. You get a couple of minutes where you don't have to think about your job. Your responsibilities are on hold, you're not needed, and you can think about something else. Plus, you can do anything you want on a break. Maybe you'll just use it to eat lunch, but heck, you could go jump rope in the park for 30 minutes if you wanted to. You could work on your novel.
