White Knight Syndrome

Call it a syndrome and people pay attention. Call it a habit and they yawn. White Knight Syndrome deserves the attention.

The syndrome feeds on a simple confusion: mistaking motion for progress, or intensity for importance. Once the confusion sets in, everything feels urgent and nothing gets finished.

Think of the student the night before the board exam, and the same student the morning after results. One believes time is an enemy; the other discovers it was only a mirror.

Time is the one currency the Reserve Bank does not print more of. No ceremony needed. Begin with the very next decision.
