Mr. Miyagi wouldn&#x27;t agree! Wax on wax off training turns Karate kid into a master martial artist. One neglected factor is you&#x27;re most creative when you&#x27;re engaging in extremely routine (read &quot;boring&quot;) tasks, which means by preparing loads of meals you train your skills but also--with the right mindset--have plenty of opportunities to come up with creative ideas. The important part is &quot;the right mindset&quot;. If you&#x27;re just a lazy guy who does work just to get by and not care about creating something of &quot;quality&quot;, then it won&#x27;t help no matter how many years you do it. Karate kid became good because he was motivated to become good. Otherwise he would have ended up becoming just a damn good car washer.
