凡劳苦担重担的人，可以到我这里来，我就使你们得安息。
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，想到明天就要周一了，有点不爽。
星期一，一言难尽。
从读书的时候，一直到大学毕业上班。
从周五到下周一。世界上没有相同的一天，却有着无比相似又复杂的「周期性心情」。
星期一上班，会有「抵触」情绪，其实是正常现象。就像一台运转的机器，停止转动之后再启动，也会需要一个热启缓冲的小过程。
不过如果一份工作既无法带给你发展空间，也难以为你的简历做背书，人际环境又无比压抑；老板一心想的是如何压榨你，而不是培养你…… 哪怕 ta 嘴上说得比唱得还好听，在旁人面前演得再好，你都会感觉到对方的虚情假意。
除非你有迫不得已的原因，不然想想为什么要如此委屈自己？
这个世界谁都不傻。傻的是把别人当傻子。
不管是员工还是老板，打工的有打工的烦恼，创业有创业的头痛点。
不过只要有心，你总能找到一个平衡点，让自己更加舒心。
人累了，可以休息一下。心累了，不妨看看能让人心情放松的艺术作品。
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 是一位出生于德国的艺术家。与不少善用单色作画的抽象主义画家一样，他也喜欢用极少的色彩（多用白色）来作画。
抽象，是他的语言。简洁是他的风格。
艺术家的很多作品并非在画布上创作，而是用一些非常生活化的瓦楞纸或纸板来作画。
人生就是要「减去」一些不必要的人、事、物，才会「加增」更多的喜乐空间。
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.
