hi there my Russian friend, Aristotle told us how

"Whatever we learn to do, we learn by actually doing it. People come to be builders, for instance, by building, and harp players by playing the harp. In the same way, by doing just acts we come to be just. By doing self-controlled acts, we come to be self-controlled, and by doing brave acts we become brave."

by managing trading business and trading we become traders ~

Slow down and win.

What do you think?

"All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter."
 Max Planck, Nobel Prize in Physics

It doesn't seem like it would be true. It doesn't seem like slowing down would get more done. But it does.

Every day I do it, I get more done. Every day I experiment with slowing down I understand the tortoise and the hare.

If I'm doing the right thing, I can do it as slowly as I want and my life will get better. If I'm doing the wrong thing (caused by a stressed, rush-rush contaminated decision-making process) it doesn't matter how fast I go I'm going to be even more STRESSED when I'm finished because it wasn't the wisest thing for me to be giving my time to. And I know it, and it stresses me out to know it.

If I am on the wrong road it doesn't matter how good I get at speeding down the road. It's the wrong road.

I need to remind myself of this: Slow down and win. Take your sweet, gentle time and have this one conversation ahead of me be relaxed and warm so that the relationship I have becomes relaxed and warm. Slow down. Even slower than that.

There you go.
