It means that if you are patient and calm, your enemy will eventually destroy himself, either by his own hand, by the hand of someone else or simply through the passing of time. The proverb also suggests that by patient and careful planning over a long period you may be able to overcome an enemy who has grown proud and careless. Either way, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are still here, while he fades in defeat.

hi there the reason for this is if you are mesuring the float time near the source of the river then it will take longer because the river needs to build up velocity as the river travels down steam is you take you data near the mouth of the river that float time will be shorter because the river velocity will have increased in speed i hope i helped out.
