The trend of lightning speed

"Speed" is one of the factor to determine winning and losing.

Everybody is trying very hard to be more smarter... precisely, it should be "faster in doing anything".

Don't know when it start - "the trend of speed". We have the following phenomenon:
- to be a billionaire before age 30..
- to be a doctor before 12..
- to finish read & digest a book within a few hours..
- to be the fastest growing company in the region..
- to be the best & young specialist..
.... and many examples....

Are we blindly chasing for the success of achievement and forget the process?
Do we miss out anything else other than speed?

Yes, we miss out the process. We forget to see the flowers, the trees, our friends, family, our pets....

I guess, we should re-think of "speed". Its not everything. Achievement does not mean that you have to achieve your goal within a very short time. Don't forget that there are lots of things that we can enjoy before we achieve our goals.

Let's slow down our pace just a little bit to enjoy the moment..
