My observations of Japanese naval fighting men, their abilities and equipment led me to believe that they gave a better account of themselves than we did.
The best advice is to take it easy, respect speed limits and do not try to make up time lost in the tailbacks on the open road.
I was trained by Method acting teachers and we were taught that aside from whatever gift you may or may not have or the level of that gift, that you were obliged to know how to build a table. It's a craft. It's like being a ballerina or a violinist.
