When I think about some of the best players across sports, I am struck by how much they seem to control time. Whether it is Lionel Messi or Roger Federer, top players always seem to play like they have all the time in the world.
I am reminded of a quote from an interview with financial author William Berstein. He said –“The less you do, the more creative you are. Show me a person who works 70 or 80 hours a week and I’ll show you a person who’s never had an original thought in their life because you just don’t have the time to have them.”
It is a great thought.
If you find yourself running through your days with no time to reflect, eat, exercise or sleep, there is a good chance there is something really wrong.
And, as William Henry Davis would say – “What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare.”
