In Growth, Standing Still Can Be Dangerous
Be not afraid of growing slowly. Be afraid only of standing still.
– Chinese’s Proverb
As far as growth is concerned, you can run, fly, hasten, crawl on all fours or even drag yourself along at a pace of a step a minute; just like the snail.
Whatever you do, never, ever, ever stand at a spot.
No waiting.
No procrastinating.
Keep moving, no matter how slow, in the right direction.
You’ll surely get there.
