Watching Messi alternate walking with decisive bursts of speed, Montemagno reconsiders the idea that results require constant maximum effort. He links the same principle to pauses between tennis points, investors waiting and actors concentrating. Apparent inactivity, in his view, can involve observation and preparation: the useful skill is recognizing an opportunity and acting quickly, with the patience to wait beforehand.
Key points
- Operating at maximum intensity all the time does not necessarily mean being effective.
- Observation and waiting can prepare a quick response when an opportunity appears.
