Reflection
Stillness
In an age of speed, nothing is so exhilarating as going slow. In an age of distraction, nothing is so luxurious as paying attention. And in an age of movement, nothing is so urgent as sitting still.
— Pico Iyer
रफ्तार के युग में, धीरे चलने से ज्यादा रोमांचक कुछ भी नहीं है। व्याकुलता के युग में, ध्यान देने से ज्यादा शानदार कुछ भी नहीं है। और गति के युग में, स्थिर बैठने से ज्यादा जरूरी कुछ भी नहीं है।
— पिको अयर
Why this matters:
In a culture of constant movement, the most radical and rewarding act is to choose stillness and depth over speed and surface.
यह क्यों मायने रखता है:
निरंतर गति की संस्कृति में, सबसे क्रांतिकारी और फायदेमंद कार्य गति और सतह के बजाय स्थिरता और गहराई को चुनना है।
