Quick fixes are dramatic.
They garner attention.
They make us look
like superstars.
Almost everyone has the focus
to implement a quick fix.
But quick fixes are rare
and often
they solve only
the small problems.
The big problems
usually take
years of daily effort
to solve.
Which is why
very few people
tackle these big problems.
“Perhaps we can start
with a very small part of it.
One person,
one opportunity,
one connection.
Drip by drip,
with commitment.
Those are the two hard parts.
The insight to do it
drip by drip
and the persistence
to commit to it.”
Very few people
can stick to one problem
for years.
Hell, as we saw
with the recent crisis,
very few people
can focus on one problem
for three months.
If you have this ability
and the inclination,
you could solve
one of
the almost unlimited
number of
large problems
facing your industry,
your country,
our world.
That’s a gift.
