Bashing Away
Some people (the non-experts mainly) tend to think that just throwing money on Tsunami relief is really going to help… that money is the all end-all factor, and that once you put it in a vending machine, you will get humanitarian aid. Reasoning that the night is long… procrastinating, and finishing work over night. Except that it doesn’t work. I mean seriously… kicking a wall for hours isn’t going to break it (try it). Ok fine, maybe it will break it, but the world is not different, a little worse, but who cares? Bashing algebra won’t solve a problem, and just having a crowd of people doesn’t make (build) a bridge. Truly, exceptions apply.
Update: Bashing away with exams with no real knowledge is a waste of time. When you have no questions left to actually answer, waste your way through, pack your stuff and go home. But whatever you do, don’t leave anything blank (show your teacher that you have at least read the question).
