在如今這個凡事講求高效快捷的社會,“慢”在我們的生活中似乎顯得格格不入。我們逐漸摒棄了“慢”,開始朝“快”邁進。這是否是個明智的決定呢?我們以及周圍的一切都“快”了,可是我們過得更好了嗎?By days of hard-working , we earn money gain power but lose ourselves.

Are the best actors the ones who can say their lines the quickest?
Are the wisest people you know the fastest thinkers?
Do the best golfers swing their clubs faster than the rest?
Do the best athletes force the pace from the front for the entire race?
Are the best leaders the ones who have had overnight success?
Are the best companies the ones that grow the quickest?
Do the best friendships develop fastest?
Are the most successful people on the planet always in a hurry?

“Living fast does not guarantee quicker happiness and working fast does not guarantee more quality. The joy of slow teaches you to discern between busyness and wisdom, effort and grace, progress and truth. Slowing down can help you to stay true to your vision during the fast times. Slowing down can help you to sharpen your focus, adjust any blurring, and be more perceptive. In fact, going slow can help you to go fast better.”
