"No matter how you hurry, you will notice at the end of the day that you traveled at the speed of time." ~Robert Brault.
Every day,
you find people hurrying back and
forth the road of life. Some to catch a bus, some
to the office, some to meet someone, some to pick up something, etc. Cars
driving so fast all wanting to go catch up with the necessity of the day.
Everyone always seems to be hurrying to somewhere or to some place. But why all
the hurry?The need to hurry about everything in life has done no good to the life of anyone but creating a generation of people who are very impatient. I read the story of a man who beat up his wife simply because she took too long to get the food to the table for him to eat.
These days
people do not even have enough patience to wait their turn on a queue. Everyone
is always in a hurry. Statistics shows that the major reason for the numerous road
accident is because of reckless driving resulting from impatience. Impatience
comes from always wanting to be in a hurry at all times.
There is
every need not to be always in a hurry in life. Conditioning yourself to always
think that if have to be in a hurry just because you may never meet up with
time is not a good idea. Taking your time to do things get more done not just
well but also in a way where people don’t get hurt.
Here are
some of the reason why you should never believe you should always be in a hurry
in life.
1.
YOU ARE BOUND TO MISS MANY OPPORTUNITIES:
Whenever we
decide in life, there is a tendency for us to by-pass opportunities in life.
One of the reasons people never succeed in life is because they miss
opportunities almost every day in their life. They miss what is right for them
because they are in a hurry. People get into the wrong marriage and
relationship with the wrong people because the hurried and simply missed who
was right for them. If you want to be more alert, slow down because
opportunities seldom knock twice.
2.
YOU MAKE WRONG DECISIONS:
Did you know
that most hasty decision taken in life are never always the right decisions? When
you decide to hurry about everything in life, wrong decision are most of what you
make of your life. I have been a victim of these mistakes severally. Because I
worked with the network every day, using smart phones and fast everything in
life, I unconsciously began seeing that people became just as fast and
effective as the fast food, fast cars, fast internet I was using every day.
This always pushed people too far, and it made every decision I made wrong.
3.
YOU OFFEND PEOPLE:
the fights
we see break out in the queue or when
we hear people cursing or blaring low horns is always because these people are
always in a hurry. The do not have the time to wait, so everyone one the meet
must meet up to their standard of being in a hurry to meet up with time. When
we are in a hurry all caution and consideration towards people flows out the
window. We step on peoples toes without caring just how it matter so long as we
get what we want. Being in a hurry gets people hurt, therefore it is not the
best.
4.
YOU WILL END UP DOING THE WRONG
THINGS:
Most wrong
decisions people are regretting today they made them in the heat of rush hour.
They said things they were not supposed to be say just because they were in a
hurry. We do things wrong whenever we hurry about them. A person who never
times his/her time about anything and tends to believe in being in a hurry does
things wrong. I see people on the street that put on their shirt or jacket inside
out. Everyone is looking at them, but they themselves are not seeing it. I
smile, and remind myself, “You should never be in a hurry.”
As it is
always said, “sometimes you just need to stop and smell the roses.” There is
nothing to hurry about in life, relax and do it right.
