kick back means to enjoy oneself; If I had worked harder to pass the exam, I could have kicked back my leisure time brbeing busy as a beebrlounging about makes u look idlebrindustrious means woke energeticallybroverrated having a friend who only listens to u whenever u are needed to hear up is overrated
Comment from : Roya Hashimi

Thanks BBCbrbrMy summary while listeningbrWhen watching nature documentaries, we may think that animals are always on the move But the surprising truth is that many animals spend a fair share of time doing nothing, away from cameras brToday's program will discuss why do animals evolve to be idle and would be lazy helpful for humans, too?brbrIt's no surprise that some animals have a reputation for lounging around all day such as lions However, we may be amazed when finding out ants, a symbol of industriousness, even sit motionless at any given time brbrAccording to Professor Dan Charbonneau, an expert in insect behavior, half of the rock ants in their colonies just sit motionless and do nothing They are called reserve ants that actually work when a disaster or a disease strikes brbrTurning to Dr Sandi Mann, she thinks being productive is overrated and boredom has its benefits, too In the world of constant stimulation, it's almost impossible for us to stop swiping and scrolling, hoping for something big to come Conversely, we should not fear boredom as it helps to kick back, switch off, and maybe slow down to take a moment to appreciate our lives

Comment from : Maria Camilla Petroni

It was a really good and inspirational video, we as a society tend to be so worry about being productive all the time that we forget the importance of switching off Besides, taking a day off or even a moment to kick back can help us with our mental health and return to our activities with a fresh mind and more energy brbrThanks so much for this outstanding content

Comment from : David Nguyễn

I study at university During weekdays, I am as busy as a bee as I have a lot of deadlines to meet I have to say that I am not just industrious but a workaholic so switching off is sometimes really hard for me, even on weekends I find it hard for me to sit around, relax, and kick back

Comment from : Николай Чернышов

Such a good video Honestly I don't work but I want to get a new job Sometimes it's hard to not work for me I do nothing and it makes me sad It feels like I spend my time in a bad way The reason why I do nothing is social medias like YouTube and Instagram In my opinion we need to break down from social medias to be more active and positive That's a bad habit and I want to destroy it The reason why I get bored is social medias again Thanks BBC😊👍
Comment from : Адиль Хамитов

After working long hours, I felt exhausted, as busy as a bee in a bustling colony; however, I realized the paradox that even though I was drained, I found solace in the algae-green park, where I could kick back, appreciate nature, and switch off from the demands of the world It reminded me that being industrious doesn't always mean being productive; sometimes, taking a break is a necessity, as it is said, "necessity is the mother of invention"
