Rushing

Rushing is like picking your nose. A bad habit. It is almost never worth the cost of rushing. Being able to make quick decisions is different. Decisive behaviour can appreciate that the world is complex, ambiguous, and uncertain... and still act. The difference is recognising when it is a true area of competence. If you have truly done the hard work to train your intuition. We are at our best when we are in flow. When our skills are being pushed to the limit, and there is no space for us to doubt ourselves. This is not the same as being in a rush. Flow appears effortless. The hours of training are hidden. The effort was invested. The time was invested. The flow is the return. Coal turns into Diamonds with extreme pressure and thousands of years. As any little kid's nose knows, there is no point in rushing for Diamonds.
