Why Can’t You Just Take Your Time?
This a piece to not only allow me to get my mind straight but also express my feelings about a topic very close to my heart nowadays.
I’ve always been an advocate for taking small incremental steps to improve or learn something. In every single aspect of our lives, all the best improvements we have realized happened after working on them for long periods of time.
It takes us about a year to learn to say a word. It takes even more time to learn to walk, jump, run. We learned our native language through many years of hearing and practicing it.
To me, it feels obvious choices need to be pondered to a certain extent and executed upon in the most carefully crafted way.
Yet, it is also sometimes important to make the jump, to try some things in a sudden manner.
You won’t learn to bungee jump until you actually take that extra step and let yourself fall. You won’t get the girl if you never work up the courage to start a conversation.
This extends to working and to companies themselves.
In our society, everything changes rapidly and enterprises need to adapt accordingly. Obviously, this means we shouldn’t spend too much time and sometimes make sudden changes to be able to follow and surpass the competition.
