A page A day

A prolific American academic once said: "write a page every day, and you will have 30 books in 30 years." This is very stimulating and tempting. It sounds true and this idea has been lingering in my mind for weeks and months. Excluding weekends, public holidays, occasional holiday trips, funerals and wedding banquets, one should at least be able to produce a monograph (or maybe a series of essays) with good discipline and perseverance. I pay tribute to this diligent professor. Squeezing a min or two could actually produce a paragraph with or without sense. Like this one perhaps.
