कहावत याद रखिए — 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop', यानी खाली दिमाग़ शैतान का घर। जो दिमाग़ काम में न लगा हो, वह idle है; diligent और hard-working इसके उल्टे हैं।

Remember the saying 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop': a mind that is not working or being used soon fills with mischief. Diligent and hard-working are its opposites.
