I am a huge fan of Mister Rogers and have been since I was a wee one. I was a PBS kid and my parents couldn’t be happier. I did watch Rainbow Brite, Shera and other non PBS shows but Reading Rainbow, Sesame Street and Mister Rogers Neighborhood were my top picks. During my tenure in Washington DC, I bought a lot of books every time I ventured into the Georgetown Barnes & Noble. Flash forward to Sunday when I was going through boxes of books from my storage unit and I found this gem:
I remember buying it a few months after his death. I am going to use it for some inspration for my weekly Wednesday Wisdom and I hope you enjoy.
From the chapter, “The Challenges of Inner Discipline.”, Page 125:
“There’s an old Italian proverb: “Qui va piano, va sano, va lentano.” That means: “The person who goes quietly, goes with health and goes far.” Hurrying up and using lots of shortcuts doesn’t get us very far at all”
How many times have all of us under the stress of life just wanted to get it over with? Whether that be a project, random task or whatever. I have had plenty of experience rushing into things and not thinking things through. This can get us a negative result in the end. So enjoy the process folks:)
Happy Wednesday (and Veterans Day!)
Best,
