Patience is rewarded
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In Dalmatia, this proverb is often linked to the concept of 'pomalo' (slowly/take it easy). It's a lifestyle choice to not rush things. In the capital, it's often used ironically when dealing with the city's notorious traffic or slow administrative processes. Related to the long cycles of farming and the patience required for a good harvest or for meat to cure (like kulen). Often used in the context of winemaking and truffle hunting, both of which require immense patience.
