You're Not Thinking Fourth Dimensionally

I don't know about you, but I'm delighted that someone has seen sense to bring back Futurama.
As intelligent, insightful comedies go, it's pretty much the best TV has to offer.
I saw an old episode recently where the Professor was attempting to explain how the Planet Express ship manages to travel at light speed.
He claimed that it's not the ship that moves, it's the space around it that shifts.
Einstein may be spinning in his grave at such audacious heresy, but there's an interesting principle here.
And I think it's the key to understanding success at hectic pace of modern life.
For me there are two choices:
1) Be as frantic as everyone else to create the illusion of success.
2) Be the constant, and allow the world's hectic energy to gravitate around you.
Kinetic energy in the workplace is just an illusion.
It doesn't get things done.
Let me give you a simple example
Your annual leave.
You leave, feeling that the world will change irrevocably while you're away.
But you'll return to find that the decisions you were waiting for are still pending.
The business world seems to be moving ever faster but the route to success is to spend time, quality time engaged in the things that are going to make a difference for you.
The rest are just scheduling conflicts
