Slow and steady.

When we rush into things too fast and furious, we need to hit the pause button to slow things down and re-assess the whole situation. The state where we are now, the future state where we want to move towards; and all it takes after that is a dip and taste of every single taste of the process. A moment of saltiness, sometimes bitterness may overthrown us away from the goal but with the spicy hot taste that comes along, sweetness will definitely follow suit. Just like drinking water to wash away those remaining taste that prevent you from moving forward to taste greater delicacies.

In life, we need to wash away those unnecessary events, experience, feelings, emotions and conscientiousness that blocks our forward march. Experiencing all the tastes of life makes you a stronger person both in mind and heart. Loving it makes you a tougher and wiser person. You can smile innocently, but a smile can be deadly as well. A genuine smile is taken for granted, so is a fake smile that make you uncomfortable. All you can ask in live is a word - Balance. A give is also a take in some ways. Give and Take at the right moment and you will be overwhelmed by the surprises that comes along.

Thinking less of yourself? No. Others think more of you. And it is normally the truth.

Slow and steady, the tortoise won the race.
Slow and steady, I will stage my grounds and path.
