Our dad has a verbal fear, that is: slow is fast. He said this was the ancestral motto passed on to him by his grandfather, and he also wanted us to remember this sentence. In the beginning, we didn't think so, but with the teaching of time and the washing of the years, we increasingly felt that this sentence has too deep philosophical principles.
"Haste is not fast", but it may be slower if you want to be fast. If we drive to an unfamiliar place, we can’t blindly ask for quickness. We have to look at the map, listen to the navigation, and watch the road signs. Once we drive fast, miss the intersection, or take the wrong route, we will deviate from the correct route and be on the wrong road. Go up and go farther and farther, and finally have to figure out a way to turn around and come back. This example perfectly explains the principle of "slow is fast" in the most popular way. Slowly driving seems to be slow, the actual result may be faster, because this is safe and fast.
Similarly, take the example of Einstein . Einstein is one of the greatest physicists and has the smartest brain in the world. However, in his childhood, he was once considered a "fool". why? Because he only learned to speak at the age of 4. His parents were worried that his intelligence was abnormal, and he was sent to school at the age of 10. So when he got to school, did he make a blockbuster? nor. His response is still slow, and his academic performance is also very poor. He was ridiculed by teachers and classmates. However, Einstein loves to think, he thinks about problems very slowly, but once he wants to understand, he can draw inferences about it, see the essence of the problem directly, and like to explore the essence of things. And those who seem to learn quickly are just taking pictures of the gourd. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Einstein, who is slow to act like a fool, is actually the fastest growing. Slow is fast, Einstein, deduced this truth to the extreme.
The pace of life and work of modern people is getting faster and faster. Whether bosses or employees, teachers or students, people from all walks of life are pursuing efficiency, they all hope to achieve their goals in the shortest time and do more things within their own available time. But, is it okay to be quick?
Many people are always eager for success when doing things. Plant a seed today and wait for it to bear fruit tomorrow. Sometimes, blindly pursuing fast, but fall behind, fast becomes slow. Recently, I have been seeing people on the headlines telling me that there are so few gold coins, why they can't hold on, and so on. The gold coin value becomes larger,It depends on your continuous strengthening and the activeness of the headlines, and it slowly accumulates. No achievement can be achieved overnight.
In order to pursue speed, some companies urge employees to make products as soon as possible. As a result, although the product was made ahead of time, it was full of loopholes and there was no way to use it. Therefore, I had to rework again, or even redesign the product. If the initial work is not done well, it will be more expensive to make corrections later.
Of course, this is not to say that you have to be slow. When it is fast, you should be fast. It should be handled flexibly according to the priority of the matter. Dad’s phrase "slow is fast" tells us to calm down, down-to-earth, and walk step by step. It seems slow, but it's not slow at all, and the road ahead will get wider and wider.
