About This Quote
A process cannot be understood by stopping it. Understanding must move with the flow of the process, must join it and flow with it. When we try to understand a process, we tend to stop it and then analyze what’s going on inside. But, understanding must always move with the flow of the process.
We must not be in a place where we can stop and analyze what’s going on inside the system so that we can understand why it’s happening. No, understanding must always move with the flow of the process and join it.
