Which is more important? How fast you go? Or the direction?
I like this thought from A.Word.A.Day:
"The lame man who keeps the right road outstrips the runner who takes a wrong one. The more active and swift the latter is, the further he will go astray."
-Francis Bacon, essayist, philosopher, and statesman (1561-1626)
Stephen Covey has a similar thought. He says:
“If the ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step we take just gets us to the wrong place faster”
Before we start moving, we need to make sure we are moving in the right direction.
