Thanks Bob for the link to this article: Limping Leaders: For a generation fixated on sprinting, failure is producing a better way.
Brings to mind a favorite song, which often plays in my head when I start sprinting and need to stop:
Simon & Garfunkel – The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin’ Groovy) Lyrics:
“Slow down, you move too fast
You got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobblestones
Looking for fun and feeling groovy
Ba da da da da da da, feeling groovy
Hello lamppost, what’cha knowing
I’ve come to watch your flowers growin’
Ain’t cha got no rhymes for me?
Doo-it in doo doo, feeling groovy
Ba da da da da da da, feeling groovy”
Prophets of a bygone day that speak louder every year.
