The pleasures of idleness
The secret of complete freedom, from worry and anxiety, lies in doing nothing; work is the source of nearly all the misery in the world. Any evil you would come to name comes from working or from living in a world designed for work.
Introduction
Sipping the hot coffee mug, while lazily sitting beside the window of your room and enjoying the rich scent of coffee, is a moment that automatically stimulates the thought process. Thought process opens up the knot of exploration; exploring our self, thinking about some of our favorite art, book or an activity that we have admired the most in the past, initiates the process of realization. Realization brings to our mind the problems or talents lying in our subconscious or which we have been forgotten since long. We may come to know about some past problem and process of realization may provide us with a solution as Archimedes was provided with the solution of his problem when he was taking a respite sitting in the tub of pleasantly warm water. Exploring ourselves can reveal some novel ideas of writing on any social or literary issues; the novel and productive ideas of Democritus, Bertrand Russell, or Shelly would not have came to light if they had no idleness for pondering over their ideas. It does not mean not even lifting a finger, or refusal of jobs, but it means work for dignity, self-pleasure and mutual happiness, and not for slavery or self-denial. Innovation and creativity in society demands a steady relationship between useful work and productive idleness, without it life becomes dull.

please comment on my introduction to the topics, all type of suggestions are welcomed

Your english is very good.
But the ideas here are contradictory. On one hand, you are justifying work as the root cause of all bad, and on the other hand, you are doing productive work with sitting lazily and sipping your coffee.
A neutral approach will be to explain the pleasures of idleness to release tensions from hectic work, to charge yourself for the next day, etc.

Development provides abundance and leisure
Improved capacity of producing mass living means; easy availability of life means, on not so high prices, makes the distribution of comfort possible between high and low classes.
Higher rates of production can easily provide many hours of idleness
Despite high availability of living means, idleness is a distant dream
More development brought more emphasized notion of work; owners of business, factories and trade promoted the virtue of unending work.
The desirable activities are considered those that bring a material profit.
The beautiful balance of work and idleness in old civilizations
Prior to the development of industries and jobs in factories craftsmen did their work in proportion to their daily requirements, and the idle time was used as per their free will
Idleness is a product of the civilization and education of a society
Without leisure, a man is cut off from many of the best things of his personality and his environment.
World’s most valuable knowledge, theories, and literature, are a blessing of idleness.
Happiness is always driven from the moments of idleness
Laziness initiates high thinking process; Descartes said, ‘I lie in bed thinking, therefore, I am’. It alone makes us notice and learn and enable us to analyze process which we would otherwise know nothing about.
Doing nothing can save the world from miseries; when you are doing nothing, you are not harming anyone. Infirmity
Idleness should not be unbalanced; unbalanced idleness should be avoided to escape inefficiency
Conclusion
We should strive hard to get idleness, the most natural gift of our ancestors

okay.. the only thing i think is missing, you have mentioned about the pleasure and how it is effecting positively to a person making him calm and etc etc. I didnt find anything out of the box. I mean like 95% percent of the people attempted this topic would have written more or less the same. it lacks spice and some negative criticism as well.
As speaking of my own self. When I am idle i seriously go in a state of panic attack or anxiety issues so being idle can be a blessings but not always. being idle wont let you earn your bread as well. a person especially a male is designed to work. If you let a machine sit idle, what will happen? it will start to rust. or you can push in a couple of examples of countries who went idle and what happened with them both in good and bad way. This sort of negative criticism I think is missing and obviously what I think in essay you have to remain in a state of diplomatic reviews sometimes no and sometimes yes, unless asked other wise. :) you can even write about today's successful industries; how did they come to that status? brain storming!! analysis!! , and that was not done buy a single idle person. so yeah that's what I think about this essay. This topic I think came in year 1997 CSS exam.
I myself will going to appear in 2018 in sha Allah and have no experience of written CSS essays. but this is something which I have learnt from my past education and I am pretty sure in the end it is just an essay, essays which we have been writting from the past 16 years. This time its just a bit more lengthy and demands more intellect :)

I am impressed with your arguments that idleness brings anxiety and frustration and even machines get rustic if not operated. Very well said and nice observation.

Here is my analysis about the statement...
pleasures of idleness...
in this statement only the pleasures means positive points of the idleness have been asked... that are mind relaxation, meditation, exploration, brainstrorming(personal and in the companies), muscle relaxation, boosting up energy for the next step, seeing the issues from a level of detachment, enjoying a scenery or a visiting place for vacation, planning for future....

idleness has negative points also like frustration, anxiety, and depression, muscle breakage due to too much relaxation, and other life and family planning issues... but these are the negatives which are not asked in this statement...

Do analyse these points and provide your feedback...
