A rich man, fond of felines, asked a famous ink painter to draw him a cat. The master agreed and asked the man to come back in three months. When the man returned, he was put off again and again, until a year had passed.

Finally, at the man’s request, the master drew out a brush and, with grace and ease, in a single fluid motion, drew a picture of a cat – the most marvelous image the man had ever seen.

He was astonished then he grew angry: “That drawing took you only thirty seconds! Why did you make me wait a year?” he demanded. Without a word, the master open up a cabinet  and out fell thousands of drawings of cats.

Don’t rush!
