A Myth or Something
There's a saying that you cannot say you're not busy in the working world.- By the way, how can I express this in English? A myth?
Anyway, it might be true.
Last week, I told you guys that I was not as busy as last year. This week, however, a new project has taken up almost all my free time. Right now, I have completed the first phase of preparation and can finally take a break.
If everything goes as expected, I should be able to continue helping people and being helped here every day. I'll try my best, even if this new project took more time than I thought.
P.S.
I noticed that some Chinese learning friends here have been making obvious progress. I'm so happy for them and see this as a reminder and encouragement to myself.
I want to tell these friends: you should be proud of yourselves.
有一种说法是，在职场上，你不能说你不忙。顺便问一下，该怎么表达这个词呢？一个迷思?
不管怎样，这可能是真的。
上周，我告诉你们我不像去年那么忙了。然而，本周，一个新项目几乎占据了我所有的自由时间。现在我已经完成了第一阶段的准备工作，终于可以休息一下了。
如果一切都如计划，我应该可以继续每天在这里帮助大家和被帮助了。即使这个新项目花费的时间比我想象的要多，我也会尽力的。
注:
我注意到这里的一些学中文的朋友有了明显的进步。我为他们感到高兴，并把这看作是对自己的提醒和鼓励。
我想告诉这些朋友们：你们应该为自己感到骄傲。

There's a saying that you cannotshould avoid saying you're not busy in the working world.- By the way, how can I express this in English?
The word you're looking for is "superstition". For example, some people believe that breaking a mirror causes seven years of bad luck! Avoiding telling others that you're not busy because it will result in you getting more projects at work is a superstition :)
Anyway, it might be true.
