It took me six months to finish Big Friendly Giant (BFG) by Roald Dahl.
I’m a fast reader.
Restricting myself to only few pages at a time,
I didn’t want the story to end…
Not wanting to say goodbye to the characters within.
Why?
To be slow at something, which is the opposite of how I operate.
I dislike wasting time.
So I drive outputs.
I’m in the business of getting things done.
I park personal issues and ask others to do the same.
Focus and ensure minimal disruption.
Why did I slow down? I was trying to be someone else.
I had gotten it all wrong.
On my way up, I can mark the spots and let others follow.
Or bring the fast scouts with me and send them back to guide the rest of the troops.
And create rest steps. People can climb at their own pace.
I’ve started to sprint once again.
