‘Dad，where are we going?’ is a reality show that I watched before，which is a parenting program about celebrities and their children.There was a scene that the fathers cooked a meal for their children out of doors.The interesting thing is that one of them cooked very slowly,and he haven’t finished his dishes when all other fathers finished.And,the reason was that the father is a virgo!He was such a cleaning freak that couldn’t stand messy bowls or dirty countertop,so he spent a half time to tidy it.
So,I think if you want to be a highly ineffective person,don’t do like that.
