Mahatma Gandhi said, “There’s more to life than simply increasing its speed.”
But what I see is that we, human, often take “faster” for “better”
We praise people for getting things done quickly
We admire those who can do more in less time
Slowness is even considered as the lack of intelligence
However, scientifically, there is no link between the two
“Fast does not always equal smart
And slow doesn’t necessarily mean stupid”, Marianne Stenger
So next time when you feel like you are falling behind in life
Remember we are never in the same race, each of us has our own pace
And you just can’t rush things that you want it to last forever
