Ancient Wisdom

An ancient Chinese Proverb:

'Even if you have to type two papers for an imminent conference, if you start to write like a monkey stoned to his eyeballs on crack jabbing at a keyboard, take is as a sign that one should stop typing and go to bed'

After my last few pathetic paragraphs on a paper I'll be presenting in a few weeks, I am inclined to agree. Well said, 我去和那要 of the 没作看 Dynasty. Mr Miyagi couldn't have put it any better.
