Hurry Burry

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!
