No quiero show ni comiquitas

Rest during the day so you can sleep at night. 5. Work is sacred, do not touch it. 6. Never put off until tomorrow what you can put off until the day after tomorrow. 7. Work as little as possible, if something must be done, let someone else do it. 8. Take it easy, nobody ever died from resting, but you can hurt yourself working. 9. When you feel the urge to work, sit down and wait for it to pass. 10. Do not forget, work is health, so let the sick people work.

Follow these Los Diez Mandamientos and you will see the results.
