Think Slow, Act Fast

It is fascinating to watch the way Bob makes a decision. Before he does so, he will often sit there, like some little Buddha, slowly mulling over the choices in front of him. You can almost hear the machinations in his brain. Tick. Tick. Tick.

It doesn’t matter what it is. He might be wondering whether to go for a stretch, a snooze or head to his bowl for something to eat. He will only take action when he’s ready. Not a second earlier, not a second later.

When he makes his move, however, he is decisive. Boom . There’s no hesitation. He knows what he wants and how to get it. And he generally does. He acts fast and gets results.

In a world where too many of us are indecisive or make snap decisions that we come to regret, we’d do well to take a leaf out of Bob’s book.

To think slow, but act fast.
