My two young children have recently started listening to a great stories podcast, and this weekend they were listening to a version of the classic tortoise and the hare story. While I was pushing them along in the stroller and they were listening, I couldn't help but listen in on the story.
It was a more modernized version, but still the same base story.
As I went along, I pondered on how we live in a fast-paced technology-driven world where the story of the tortoise and the hare may be more pertinent and important than ever.
Undoubtedly, technology enables some amazing and even essential things, but it also gives the false impression that we can always be running faster and doing more. The reality is, though, that there are limits to both how fast we can run and how much we can do.
So, by all means, make appropriate and calculated usage of technology. And, at times, run really fast. But, don't lose sight of the fact that at the end of the day, slow and steady with a clear vision of where you are going will almost always win the race.
