Summary
Not every delay is a waste. Not every extra step is bureaucracy. And not every safeguard is outdated. Some friction exists because experience left a note for the future. The difficulty is that useful friction and legacy friction create the same feeling. ------ Both slow things down.Both ask for patience.Both demand effort. Only one prevents a problem worth preventing. ------ In this episode, we explore why many systems become victims of their own success, and why understanding friction is often more valuable than removing it. ------ Stay Tuned… Regards, Top Voice Maido & Kon'nichiwa min'na! 👶🏻🧑🏻🦱👩🏻🦳 Wie Geht's guys?
