Law 35
Never seem to be in a hurry – hurrying betrays a lack of control over yourself, and over time. Always seem patient, as if you know that everything will come to you eventually. Become a detective of the right moment; sniff out the spirit of the times, the trends will carry you to power. Learn to stand back when the time is not yet ripe, and to strike freely when it has reached fruition. –Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power (review)
