LEARN FROM NATURE

Chipmunks are always in a hurry. They are quick and fast but only have a life span of 3 years. Turtles are never in a hurry. They are very slow but have an average life span of 125 years. Obviously, Cicero was correct when he said, "To live long, live slowly." You can get a lot more done (slowly) in 125 years than you can (quickly) in 3 years. Also, life is less stressful and more enjoyable at a slower pace. Modern society has speeded things up to the point that we feel pressured to be overly active. The fallacy of multitasking has caused us to try to do too many things at the same time. Consequently, not much gets done well. We end up doing a lot of things poorly. My advice is to slow down and live better.

Today's blog is late, short, and not very thoughtful because I am so damn busy!
