Thomas L. Friedman Quote

And it is not just knowledge that is improved by pausing. So, too, is the ability to build trust, to form deeper and better connections, not just fast ones, with other human beings, adds Seidman. Our ability to forge deep relationships—to love, to care, to hope, to trust, and to build voluntary communities based on shared values—is one of the most uniquely human capacities we have.
