Do you know the meaning of "Gap Day"? In recent days, "Gap Day" is all the rage.

Compared with "Gap Day" you may hear more about "Gap Year". "Gap Year" is usually translated as "year off", which means that some young people who are about to enter the society spend a year doing something they really want to do, such as hiking, traveling, painting, social practice and so on, which has nothing to do with studying and working.

"Gap Day" continues the purpose of "Gap Year", which means taking a day or less to relax and adjust your state of mind during busy work or study, focusing only on your own needs.

Although modern society has become more competitive, and both work and life pressures are also increasing, a growing number of young people in the workplace are adopting a new attitude and starting to try to find a balance between work and life by taking advantage of the "Gap Day", stopping mental internal friction and being themselves again.

Some companies are also starting to encourage their employees to use "Gap Day". They believe that only by letting employees truly feel that the company cares about their lives and health can they boost their job enthusiasm and creativity.

The appearance of "Gap Day" shows us that nowadays people are no longer slaves of work, but want to be masters of their own lives.

Get a moment"s leisure in the busy life. Wish you can seize the day and live it to the fullest.

一些公司和企業也開始鼓勵員工使用“Gap Day”。他們認為，只有讓員工真正地感受到公司關心他們的生活和健康，才能提高員工的工作積極性和創造力。

“Gap Day”的出現，讓我們看到了當代職場人群不再是工作的奴隸，更想成為自己生活的主人。
