You're allowed to take the slow road that lasts. Time punishes the sprint you can't sustain and quietly rewards the pace you can.

The thought behind it

You are allowed. That is the entire argument, made without sentiment and without asking anyone else to agree. This one carries the TIME thread, where money stops being the unit of account and hours take the job over. Watch what “slow” does here. Change it and the sentence becomes comfortable again, which is how you know it matters.
