Never eat lunch at the desk.
Never, ever eat it driving the car.
Never, ever, ever eat it while talking on the telephone.
Lunch should be taken with a sense of achievement from the morning, and anticipation for the rest of the day.
It doesn’t make sense to deny yourself lunch.
Without it, there is no progress, no vision, and no poetry.
Those who continue to work through lunch will be the slaves of the twenty-first century.
But a lunch during the week is different from lunch at the weekend.
Office lunches should be fresh and interesting, different every day.
