Lots of Overnight Tragedies, No Overnight Miracles

New technologies often take decades to become mainstream. A trickle of growth, progress or innovation does not create a ripple or spike in most people's lives.

Example: Netflix stock has grown exponentially in the last 20 odd years, but almost none of the investors have benefited entirely from it, as the progress has been too slow to be noticed.

• Bad news is aggressive and attention grabbing. A pandemic took no time to put the entire world hostage. Events like Pearl Harbour and 9/11 only took a couple of hours.
• All growth is slow to rise, as it fights against many odds. A tree takes a lifetime to grow from a seed in the soil to it’s full-blown form, where it gives shade, fruit and environmental support to all.
• Setbacks are fast and furious, as they have entropy to their advantage.
