@skeletor I've often tried to tell my leadership that falling down a flight of stairs involves moving fast, but shouldn't be construed as "progress."
@skeletor Don't confuse moving forward with progress ;)
@skeletor don't confuse moving slow with moving fast enough.
@skeletor if I still worked in an office, I would print this in an extra large format and hang it on the wall.
@skeletor I think the original (also alliterative) was: Don't confuse activity with achievement - Coach John wooden
@skeletor Can I move sideways?
Can you move so fast that you're not moving at all?
@skeletor Here I was thinking we must move forward, not backward. Upward, not forward. And always twirling, twirling, TWIRLING towards freedom.
@dahukanna you‘ll like that one I guess ;) cc @skeletor

@gpfau @skeletor yep-1,000,000%.

Scalar speed (running around the same circle circumference but you have the illusion of moving ≠ vector velocity the travel of motion over a distance.

The best advice I never took: "Slow down." I ignored it for 20 years. Rushed through college. Rushed through relationships. Rushed through life. Thought speed was success. Then I realized: I was rushing toward nothing. Just movement without meaning. The most successful people I know move deliberately, not quickly. They're playing long games while everyone else sprints nowhere. Speed without direction is just busy. Slow down. Think. Then move with purpose.
