We are all living in a high-speed society. It seems everyone wants things right away. The names of companies are indicative of what the public wants – Kwik Copy, Federal Express, Speed Queen, Minute Maid. Many people are obsessed with speed. Even drive-through restaurants are not fast enough. Eating itself has become an inconvenience. We’ve gone from fast foods to microwaves to handheld breakfasts. People are having breakfast as they drive to work – Egg McMuffins, pop tarts, granola bars. Speed-eating has evolved into a fine art.
We have to watch we don’t buy into this rush-rush-rush mentality because it can be non-productive as well as stressful. Rushing frequently produces errors. It’s better to slow down and do it right in the first place. It seems like those who don’t have time to do it right always seem to have time to do it over again.
Eat slower, walk slower, talk slower, and yes, even try to work slower.
