A reluctance to measure.




Although adept at business, many people in flexible time cultures find the intricate measurement of time or earnings performed by linear time cultures tedious and unnecessary. When pressed, they will comply with the business contingencies imposed on them by their linear business associates, but their hearts may not be in these calculations.

 

Utterances that capture the subordination of the clock to human reality:

• The famous “manana” attitude of the Spanish

• The often repeated “In sha’a Allah” (If God wills) of the Arab

• The Filipino “bahala na” (accept what comes)

• The Turkish proverb “What flares up fast extinguishes soon”

• The Mongolian proverb “Profit always comes with a delay”

• The Italian proverb “Since the house is on fire, let us warm ourselves”


Cyclical time

 

With time and patience, the mulberry leaf becomes a silk gown.
(Chinese proverb)

A ripe melon falls by itself. (African proverb)

Man has responsibility, not power, over time. (Native American proverb)

Although in fundamentally different ways, both linear time cultures and flexible, multi-tasking cultures believe they manage and control time; in cyclical time cultures, however, time manages life, and humans must adjust to time. In these cultures, time is neither viewed as linear nor as event/person related, but as cyclical, circular, repetitive. The human being does not control time; the cycle of life controls people and they must live in harmony with nature and subscribe to the cyclical patterns of life. Examples of cyclical time cultures include most Asian, African, and Native American (including the Inuit) cultures.
