Jacob my son, in this world if you go too slow you suffer and if you go too fast you also suffer.
When there is a war, the man that sits still gets shot by the sniper and the man that runs is hit by artillery. The man that moves slowly but steady has a better chance.
In life it is better to go at a steady pace but not too fast. Don't try to do everything at once and do everything at a steady pace. But it is bad to do nothing for too long.
There is a story of the tortoise and the hare. The hare was faster than the tortoise but the tortoise won the race because he didn't stop. The hare ran ahead of the tortoise in the beginning but he then stopped running and sat down for too long. It is better to be like the tortoise that is slow and steady. Only stop and rest when it is time to rest, at the end of the day or at the weekend.
