We are against the notion that faster is always better.

Our philosophy is not about doing everything at a snail’s pace.

It’s about seeking to do everything at the right speed. Savoring the hours and minutes rather than just counting them.

Doing everything as well as possible, instead of as fast as possible.

It’s about quality over quantity in everything from work to food to parenting.

The only thing for certain is that everything changes. The rate of change increases. If you want to hang on you better speed up.

That is the message of today we disagree.

It could however be useful to remind everyone that our basic needs never change.

The need to be seen and appreciated!

It is the need to belong.

The need for nearness and care, and for a little love!

This is given only through slowness in human relations.


In order to master changes, we have to recover slowness, reflection and togetherness. There we will find real renewal.
