“I ran into a fellow one time who was learning how to play piccolo. And he was playing piccolo for the band. And he was just learning how to play this piccolo and I kept hearing this excruciating noise. It would go on all evening. And so I found this fellow was making this noise, he was making this noise with his piccolo and what was he doing? All evening long, he would hold one note until he was absolutely sure of that note. And he was sooner or later then going to be absolutely sure of every note on that piccolo. And he got to be a pretty good piccolo player. That’s kind of cautious.
“A lot of the difference between speeds in people is that some people have more certainties than others. Two people can get to the same goal, really, at different times. One simply holds on to his certainties and examines them longer than another.”
— L. Ron Hubbard
