Caveat: 一刻千金

picture
I ran across this four-character Chinese aphorism online.

一刻 千金
일각천금
il.gak.cheon.geum
moment-wealth

The second of the two terms, which I rendered, after much equivocation, as “wealth,” is literally “thousand pieces of gold.” The idea is that each moment is precious.
You wouldn’t know that from how I waste my time. Er… or is that the point?
