The Invisible Force That Shapes Your Life

Описание: In 1978, an American futurist named Roy Amara offered a reflection on the progression of technology:
“We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run.”

We overestimate the short-term effects and underestimate the long-term effects.

And, as you might have guessed, this reflection is about much more than technology. It’s about the way humans misjudge progress:

You think linearly, but most of life works exponentially—it benefits from compounding.
Today’s actions cannot be judged on the basis of today’s results. They quietly stack under the surface, for days, months, years, even decades. And then, suddenly, they appear.

Growth follows the same rule. It happens gradually, then suddenly.

When you feel stuck, ask yourself these questions:
What’s happening on the surface? What am I seeing?
What’s happening at the foundation? What am I feeling (that’s unseen)?
