What we get wrong about time

In this insightful lesson, let’s learn about time from the perspective of a giant redwood tree. As you drive through the Avenue of the Giants in Northern California, surrounded by majestic redwoods, you come across a slice of a massive tree, revealing its age through concentric rings. Each ring depicts a key moment in history, spanning from Vikings discovering America to modern-day events. This unique perspective challenges our notion of time, reminding us of the importance of extending our time horizon. As Bill Gates wisely said, “Most people overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in ten years.” So next time you find yourself fixating on short-term goals, consider the long-term impact and redefine your relationship with time.
