Transformation is word of the day!

Transformation is permanent migration to a new & improved stable state “not a step change that can shift back to original/previous state“ over time! It is an irreversible process with progressive results “seamless and complete” at every stage! Nature/ Science shows transformation takes its own time! But we don’t have one.

In today’s one-minute culture, Speed is God and Time the Devil!

What we eat, how we live, how we learn/un-learn, how we deal – with people, money and every bit of life has moved into fast, furious, mobile – online, on-demand, any time/ every time – 24X7, 365!!!! Speed is what we go after and time is what we would like to fight.

We would like to win over – Time! Would like to reduce – response time, cycle time, creation time, usage time, wait time, healing time – anything that stops “The Speed!”

So, we prefer – quick wins, quick fixes, early trials, walk-in surgeries, one-page/one-slide view of a big report/strategy; executive summary v/s full proposal/business case; one-minute guides/managers; all answers and solutions now! Not just that, answer/solution should be in simple, easy-to-use steps. Only Gain and No Pain!

What’s wrong with this?

Nothing – in simple terms! But what it leaves behind is – an illusion of success, flaws in planning leading to failed execution, a lot of ‘mile-wide-inch-deep experts!’

Masterpieces take time – a lot of time and patience – to think, create and use. At the same time, they last longer! So is “true transformation!”

Making something happen takes time – definitely more than a minute!

What to pray for – Speed or Time?

Instead of too many broken pieces not adding up to any picture, one or two masterpieces are worth this life!

Let SPEED be GOD but BLESS the TIME!
