Dough that rises too fast tastes flat. Slow growth usually has more in it.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

Things that develop quickly often turn out thin, because the depth was a product of the time rather than a separate ingredient. Fast growth gets you the size without whatever would have formed along the way, and the missing part is usually the one people actually value. Speed and substance tend to trade against each other.

Resist the urge to accelerate the thing you care about this week. Take the longer route with the skill you are building. If something is growing faster than you can keep up with, slow it down on purpose and let the rest catch up.
