Why are we always in such a hurry? Can someone please answer that question for me? From as early as I can remember I have been in a hurry. In a hurry to get to that next milestone age. To get my homework done so I could go play basketball. To get my drivers license. To graduate. To get a place of my own. HURRY HURRY HURRY!! What's the rush?
I guess as many times as we may have read the story, we still don't get it. You know the one from our childhood; the Tortoise and the Hare. We hurry and jump and flit from this to that, never able to keep ourselves focused on one thing. That's all our friend the Tortoise did you know, just stuck with it. I know it's a silly nursery rhyme, but isn't there something we could learn here?
I have a friend who tells the story of a famously successful business man being interviewed for a magazine. When asked what he attributed to his success, he simply replied "I finish what I start." Of course the interviewer thought he was being funny, but he was simply stating a fact. He had finished what he started, and since he only started things that were worth his time, he was a success.
Let us all learn our lesson from the Tortoise, slow and steady wins the race!
