Arriving first doesn't entitle you to go in alone

Mark as read

Some people understand faster, organize better or get there first. And then they wait.

In a group of friends, at home or at work, sometimes we go faster than others: we understand sooner, organize better, get there first. And it's tempting to keep going without looking back. But not everything is a race. Waiting for the one coming behind, without making them feel clumsy, is also a way of loving. Sometimes it means explaining again something you already know; other times, slowing down so the other person isn't left alone. Whoever gets there first and waits doesn't lose anything. Quite the opposite: they arrive with company.

Key idea

Going faster doesn't authorize you to leave others behind.

Your challenge for this idea

Today, in something you're better at, wait for someone who is going more slowly and move forward together.
