24/7 isn't the only way

Wow, it has been a while since I last updated this blog.. and I'm not really sure whether there are still people willing to drop by. The tight schedule (konon2) has somehow prevented me from doing this so-called 'leasure' writing..

Anyway, I just found an interesting article published in Nature, and here are some excerpts of what the author has highlighted:

You expect high-quality work — but you do not measure someone's efforts by time spent in the lab in the evenings or on weekends, rather you measure them by the quality of their data.*

*Overbaugh, J. (2011) 24/7 isn't the only way: A healthy work–life balance can enhance research. Nature 477, p27–28

Indeed it is true. There's nothing wrong to work hard, to work at extra times in order to get good results as good results do not normally come by accident (though sometimes they do). It's just important that we spend some of our precious times with those that we love, or have a cup of tea with friends. Life is too short, so make use of every second of it..
