# Hurry Up and Wait By:: [[Brian Heath]] 2023-05-29 The world we live in can often be paradoxical: we hurry to make plans, but then we have to wait for systems to catch up. Our desires for speed or slowness have little effect on the river of progress. We may imagine what the world would look like if things were different, but we must also face the challenges of reality. It's easy to get lost in these thoughts, but living in a world of ideas can lead to disastrous results. However, it's also the key to progress and moving forward as a species. To achieve this progress, we must be patient and persevere through the challenges that come our way. #### Related Items [[Progress]] [[Meaning]] [[Speed]]
