Walk slowly through the world and pay attention.

  1. I agree. In today's world, where everybody is constantly running after something or the other... it's become important to be slow and analyze the things around you!

  2. I agree with the turtle. I just can't argue with living life at a leisurely pace, drinking it all in unfiltered. Why anyone would want to hurry through it is beyond me.

  9. No matter what, life always ask me to hit the breaks even when I don't want to but then I think, slow is better at times...nice aphorism.

  10. I love this aphorism, Marty! A turtle walking slowly through the world is an excellent analogy. Take your time now and then, pay attention to what’s around you and savor the moment So much is missed when everything just races by you.

  12. I couldn't afford to be slow when I was young. Getting older, I could afford to slow down a bit but too many things crying out for my attention. Now at an advanced age, nobody care whether I'm fast or slow, and I can be attentive to life itself which unfortunately is beginning to lose interest in me.

  13. Marty, turtles live long and they have been around for millions of years. It's time we took a leaf of advise from their epics of experience.

  14. Yes Marty, I consider myself an example of this. Until you study things very carefully you won't get to fully appreciate them.
