Life is like a roller coaster. Just hold on tight when it's going down.

Slowing down, can be good

sometimes

Hi peeps!

I am supposed to be studying for Blocks and everything but somehow, after watching a video on TED, it made me want to blog. Not that it was telling me to like reflect or something, but somehow, the points the speaker brought up was, pretty relevant in everyone's daily lives.

I can sum that video up in two words: Slow Down.

I pride myself in being fast in running in my CCA. And also to maintain that speed over a long stretch of time. Basically, I love speed, I like doing things quickly and I rush through things a lot. Although it's ridiculous to suggest for me to actually take a walk in the park and pick up a rose to smell it, but somehow I sort of get what the person was talking about. It's about quality of the work given, not the quantity.

We get caught up with life so much that sometimes, we do things a little too fast for our own good. We rush through tutorials to meet deadlines, we rush through our food so as to have more time to do something. Basically, speed is really part of our lives, and that would mean everyone, like really EVERYONE. ( Especially you TF :O)

The consequences as he put it, are that, the stuff we do, tends to be more of less quality. Our inter-personal relationships tends to be less deep and we tend to end up abit more unproductive that we could be. Sometimes, we should really just spend time doing, nothing. Our lives dont really call for such practice of slow-ness, but I do feel that it really does more good than harm should we put it in practice. Don't believe me? Look at the number of people who are falling sick in HC. Our health has deteoriated with our 'speed living'.

Of course, I am not going to use this as an excuse to not study for Blocks (though I DID LOVE TO) but I think everyone could just apply it. Like, you know, spend more time understanding the stuff being taught rather than just, you know memorising and understand and go, touch-and-go to make it short. I am not the kind of mugger students so I most probably would fail trying this out. Haha.

In any case, I truly believe that leading it slowly usually allows us to appreciate stuff around us better. Thus, a better quality life. (:

I have wasted enough time here (How hypocritical :P ) and I need to get back to mugging bio. HAHA.

Looking closely, no one's rushing us. We are the one rushing ourselves. Instead of putting every minute to efficient use, why not try putting every minute to good use. (:

Alright, I have really blogged enough, HAHA,
That's all for today,
See Ya~
