If you don’t take the time to think through a problem, to analyze what’s in front of you, to figure out your next steps.
No one will.
There is a time to do, and a time to think. When you know all the elements of the problem, that is definitely the time to do, but when you don’t – that’s the time to think.
You can be quiet.
You can be reserved.
You can go into a cave.
You can shut everything out.
There is no harm in thinking through a problem and not responding immediately.
That is where our value has always and will always be.
