Air quote of the day #8585um

当 局者迷,旁观者清 dāng jú zhě mí, páng guān zhě qīng – The spectators see more of the game than the players. This proverb points out that a person involved in a matter usually does not have a comprehensive overview of it due to too much concentration on gains and losses, while the onlookers, who have a calmer and more objective attitude, have a better grasp of what is going on.
