What’s the Rush?Sometimes I think we need to get off this wild ride―the ride we call life―as we know it.As the song goes, “slow down, you’re moving too fast, you got to make the good times last.”Why have we become addicted to fast, and still it’s not good enough?Computers and gadgets need to be faster and faster.Fast food can’t get fast enough.I recently went to a wedding, and it was over so quickly.We don’t want to wait for other cars;we want the ultimate fast lane, with the ultimate speed.Heck, if we could afford it.I’m sure we would take rockets instead of planes.But even that’s not fast enough.Until the science fictions dream of moving one place to another in a blink of an eye becomes reality, we’ll be unhappy.Perhaps speed is not the answer to happiness all the time.Once in a while, slowing down is the answer.At least enjoy the ride we call life.It’s not just about getting to the end―the end will come, but enjoying the trip.That’s what I need to do more of.What about you? Even if you win the rat race, you are still a rat!Talk about it:Are you impatient?How often do you eat fast food?Are you happy with the speed of your computer or your internet connection?
放慢脚步 享受生活有时我在想我们需要离开我们称之为生活的东西―我们都了解这一点。就如同歌中所唱的:“放慢你的脚步,你太快了,你必须让最好的时光在最后到来。”为什么我们沉迷于快节奏,而且仍然觉得不够快吗?电脑和各种小东西需要得越来越快。快餐不能再快。我最近去参加了一次婚礼,它结束的非常快。我们不想等待其他车辆;我们希望终极快车道与最终速度。见鬼,如果我们能负担得起的话。我确信我们会搭乘火箭，而不是飞机。但即使是这样还不够快。也许像科幻片那样一眨眼就从一个地方移动到另一个地方变成现实,我们也会不高兴。也许速度并不一直是是幸福的答案。有时放慢脚步才是答案。至少享受我们称之为生活的这个过程。这不仅仅是结束―最终都会结束,但享受过程才至关重要。这就是我还需要做更多的。你呢?即使你赢了激烈的竞争,但你依然是一只老鼠!谈论下面的话题:你是一个焦急的人吗?你多久吃一次快餐?你对电脑的速度或互联网连接满意吗?
