It was an unexpected rainy day in Delhi.
I was sitting on my balcony reading a book.
Sometimes, my speed of reading was getting affected.
The sound of the rain droplets was causing this hindrance.
I got irritated. I looked away from my book.
There, on the floor, I saw a little snail crawling away.
I got up from my chair to observe the snail closely.
I noticed that the snail was moving very slowly (like very)
But did this creature care about it?
No!
Because the snail has set its own speed in life!
It does not move according to the whims and fancies of people around it.
Neither it tries to ape other animals like a tiger or lion.
Wouldn't it be weird to watch a snail compare itself to a tiger? :)
Then, why on Earth do we compare our speed to someone else's speed?
Isn't it futile?
In life, many people will ask you to chase things like a ferocious tiger.
I ask you to live life like a snail!
According to YOUR terms and conditions.
Will you live life like a snail or tiger?
Would love to know your thoughts on this!

2 年We never know who started when n from where.So its completely meaningless to compare our journey with others..We should just keep putting efforts consistently n should have firm faith in ourself.Comparison on the other hand demotivates us n we are not able to utilize our full potential.

2 年Yes we should not only not compare apple(snail) and oranges(lion). Should not we even compare apples(snail) with apples(snail). What if there were fellow snails and there was a food item and all were running to reach at it the first ? Should they be competing and comparing(read humans)?

2 年True. Instead of noticing and comparing ourselves with others, we must have belief and confidence in our ownself to be successful. Developing our mindset with learning new things around, would surely help to reach the pinnacle of our life. Moving according to our pace like a snail, will make you a tiger at the end...........
