Work while you work, play while you play;

That is the way to be cheerful and gay.

All that you do, do with your might;

Things done by halves are never done right.

Is a very good rule, as many can tell.

Moments are useless, trifled away;

So work while you work, play while you play.

所有工作时就专心工作，玩时就一心玩耍。
