Working through uncertainty

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that the position and momentum of a particle can never be known exactly. The more you try to measure where something is the harder it becomes to measure how fast it is moving.

It is the same with our work. When we focus on where we are, the harder it becomes to know how quickly we are moving towards where we want to go. And the more we focus on how quickly we are moving towards our goal, the harder it becomes to appreciate where we are.
