Individuals or organisations may want us to make our minds up quickly about something or someone.  But there may be more to know.  I might think what others consider to be the most important thing in the world not to be worth much at all.  I don’t want to come to a conclusion or judgement fast.

(**From Chris Lowney’s Heroic Leadership.  The organisation Lowney writes about is the Jesuit order, which, in its early days, encouraged individuals to pursue what interested them most, meaning they had to be indifferent to many other things.)
