When Time is Worth the Lesson

How Over-Investing in Training Yields Greater Independence

Difference of the Day #213

Teach a task, and you multiply it; teach someone to let go, and you transcend it. Investing 30 times the duration of a task to impart knowledge might seem counterintuitive—like a savant savoring complexity hidden within simplicity.

Imagine teaching someone how to effectively navigate bureaucratic hurdles. Twenty mornings over coffee, followed by countless afternoons—each impatient second is worth it if, in parallel, you cultivate independent thinkers rather than mere marionettes.

Consider training a chef: 30 hours spent not only on cooking techniques but on fostering the ability to create something new. An extra hour spent now means avoiding 40 hours later correcting foolish mistakes born of arrogance. Training should be the transfer of responsibility without illusions, crafting wisdom out of simple acts.
