Nature does not hurry
still gets everything done
-Leo Babauta , Author, Zen habits.net
Epictetus Says, " All great things are of slow growth. Look at a grape or fig. If then you say to me now, I deserve a fig,
I shall answer, it needs time - wait till its first flower, then cast its blossom, then ripen.
even the fruit of tree, reaches not maturity suddenly not yet a single hour ,
Do you nevertheless desire so quickly, and easily to reap the fruit of mind of human - NO!
expect it not! "
My notes:
This is a lesson in Change Management - don't expect others to change suddenly
If future state is a fruit, it takes time to develop a fruit
How does a plant develop a fruit?
Flower => pollination (change introduction)=> Ovary => Hormone growth => Ovary walls expand and thicken => Ripening => Fruit!
Don't hasten Change : for (wo)Man does not only object to change , but also hate the other who causes change - so be slow!
Be a catalyst!
