"الكسل قاتل فقط للمتوسطين"
— Albert Camus
Simplified Meaning:
The saying means that being lazy or doing nothing is harmful only to those who are average or unremarkable. Talented and skilled individuals can still be creative and productive even when they aren't working all the time. For example, think of an artist who doesn't paint every day. Even if they take breaks, their skills and creativity are still strong, and when they do return to their work, they create great art. On the other hand, if someone with less talent stops practicing, they may lose what little ability they have and find it hard to get better. This advice encourages us to focus on improving our abilities so that taking a break won't harm our progress. It's also a reminder that constant activity isn't as important as having genuine talent and skill.
