Quote

Consider how central the notion of progress (or lack of it) is to our experience of our work and of our lives as a whole. …people seem hardwired to think of themselves as on journeys. We ask each other, “How’s it going?” We answer with phrases like “moving forward,” “on track,” “moving ahead,” or “getting there.” If we feel no sense of progress, we say we are “stuck,” “at a standstill,” “in a rut,” “going nowhere,” or perhaps even “losing ground” or “backsliding.” You can probably think of other words that capture this sense of progress.
