Try to see it once my way: everything zen (Bush)

Entrepreneur Ben Chestnut on the importance of momentum:

"Never sacrifice momentum. I might know a better path, but if we've got a lot of momentum, if everyone's united and they're marching together and the path is O.K., just go with the flow. I may eventually nudge them down a new path, but never stop the troops mid march."


Momentum is often talked about during sports matches where a surge of effort is maintained for a period of time so that it overwhelms an opposition. It's palpable and emotional, that feeling, but that surge is tough to sustain.

Momentum ebbs and flows through a match. Same in a school setting. It's rare to have a situation where 'everyone's united and they're marching together'. I've felt it a few times in my teaching career.

It's great to be a part of it when it happens.
