Jim Nielsen, Speed is Not Conducive to Wisdom:
Wise people I’ve met seem unhurried. I don’t think it’s because they’re slow thinkers or actors. I think it’s because they’ve learned that important things take the time they take, no amount of urgency changes that.
Truth. There’s also a meaningful distinction to consider, between speed and initiative. A person can be unhurried, but still approach important tasks with urgency and agency.
