What can I say, wherever you look today eveyone is rushing. And to make matters worse, my daughter came home from school and had to do a maths test to see how long it took her to answer 20 questions and how many she got correct. So, what is it, its rush versus accuracy. You know, I have been there and done all this. I am over 50 and this disease of rushing starts from pressure from the schools. You go down the shopping centre, everyone is rushing, mainly female shoppers. You go in the car parks, more acts of rushing, you drive on the roads and everyone is speeding and when you ask them why, they say they are in a hurry. This is a disease from school days where pressure is put on kids to do everything as quick as possible. I can clearly see that today most mistakes are caused in all arenas because people rush. In all my life I have seen some monumental mistakes done all because of rush, being in a hurry to complete. Tell me all you rushers out there, next time you catch a jumbo jet and the jet has just come back from a major overhaul, how would you like the engineer to rush overhauling the Pratt/Whitney/Rolls Royce/GEC engine? What would you prefer, an engineer that assembled the engine <br />quickly or someone who has meticulously slow workmanship? For those who know me, they know I have always been the other way around. I have always been a reasonably slow worker but I excel in being perfect in everything I do, regardless if its my trade profession or anything outside my trade. People today should be taken on a tour of NASA and watch the engineers work on the space shuttle, there you would see perfectionists at work. No room for mistake there. In the last 5 years, I have seen so many mistakes from people that have cost lives and its all because of RUSH, RUSH, RUSH...and unfortunately, this is the disease that is pushed amongst our kids today. We are today producing the wrong type of people.<br />P.S. How would you like a surgeon to rush during heart surgery?.<br />Phil <br />Not Rushing<br /> <br /> <small>[ 07.
