We should all heed the lyrics of this Simon and Garfunkel tune.
"The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)"
Slow down, you move too fast
You got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobblestones
Looking for fun and feelin' groovy
Ba da da da da da da, feelin' groovy

[We’ve become so obsessed with speed that we are frustrating ourselves that we cannot do it. Instead of loving what we do, and doing it completely and with excellence, our culture trains us to hate what we are doing and only love the thing we are not doing, and rush to do that instead. And we treat the new thing the same as old: a regrettable task.
For that reason, we are always discontent and never fully engaged in the task at hand. We are fidgety and fill ourselves with resentment. Instead, we should learn to love what we must do and do it with patience and completeness so that we can always say: a job well done.
Almost all young people today believe they are afflicted with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD. This supposed disease is entirely made up, never discovered. It is simply a description of people who are in a wild rush and unable to be patient in their studies or work.]
