Extract from "Three Cups of Tea"

Mortenson says, 

"We Americans think you have to accomplish everything quickly. We're the country of 30-minute power lunches and 2-minute football drills Our leaders thought their 'shock and awe' campaign could end the war in Iraq before it even started.

Haji Ali taught me to share 3 cups of tea, to slow down and make building relationships as important as building projects. He taught me that I had more to learn from the people I work with than I could ever hope to teach them."
