In a time where the virtue of patience is foresaken for speed
Take the time to peel the pomegranate
In a world where hard work is shunned and smart work is lauded
Relish the opportunity to do it the long way and make mistakes
Even if it means sometimes you will be outsmarted
In a world where work that's visible is rewarded
Do the invisible labour, the long nights, the slow, mindful creation of art that no AI can replicate
The final sweetness of your reward will be invaluable
In a world where there is no room for faltering
Fail as much as you can, and pick yourself up
Don't you forget, there are still many pomegranates to peel
