BUSY<br />

BY MAY WALKOWIAK, Faculty | School of Advancement<br />

What does it mean to be busy?<br />

Am I busy now while I am writing?<br />

We keep ourselves busy not to be bored,<br />

not to think,<br />

so we busy ourselves.<br />

We have a busy life.<br />

Business people<br />

DOING BUSINESS<br />

The essence of a good work.<br />

Making money<br />

The line is busy.<br />

Someone is talking.<br />

Let us check this link:<br />

Busy as a beaver.<br />

“Hard-working, able to do many projects at once,”<br />

Busy as a bee.<br />

The original meaning of the word busy<br />

Implied anxiousness, be anxious.<br />

Busybody<br />

Is this what our postmodern capitalism wants us to be?<br />

Making business the main virtue,<br />

And being busy the only accepted lifestyle?<br />
