If you see life as a race, you strive to be at the finish line quickly, just as any racer (athlete) does. What is the finish line of Life? Death. Would you want to get to it quickly?
So, live life cautiously and with great care, not rushing through any process and be your own yardstick of progress and success”
(Mr.Hko, Grammarian/counsellor)
Man always has an intrinsic desire to reach goals and aspirations as early as possible, partly to satisfy a burning desire, to please others or even cater for a genuine need. The truth is, Life is a process and a journey. Consider this imagery. Imagine you were tasked to assemble an electricl appliance and because for instance, you were eager to use it quickly so this made you assemble the parts without taking the pain to set each part at its right positions. What would happen if you switched it on to use? Your guess was as good as mine! It could explode or function poorly. When you grow a seed, it takes time to germinate. The kind of fertlie ground and climate you planted may all contribute to its growth. Comparing the rate at which your plant germinates with another in a different soil and climate would be very sad. Both conditions were different! That is how life should be approached. We should always measure our success based on our own abilities, conditions or provisions and just do our best to improve them. Never compare yourself to anything or anyone. Yes, it is also wisdom to know that life is pain and pleasure at the same time. Things may get touch and difficult. Do not be overly perturbed and see this as part of the journey. Take lessons from mistakes you commit and redefine yourself and principles always to do better in future. Remember, the finished line of life is Death, I hope you will get at it rather slowly and steadily.
