Walk Straight, Walk with me, You'll Never Walk Alone

This is a story from Dennis Yong.

When he was in China, he has to learn the culture of each and every state, provinces etc. So when it comes to crossing the road, he was shocked to learn that in order to reach the other side, the local Chinese just walked straight, without looking left or right.

The moral of the story is: Many times in our life, we tend to look left or right instead of looking in front towards our goal, so we lose focus and was detoured from our path. We should learn this attitude from the Chinese; when we set a goal, just walk straight towards it, stay focus and never look left and right.

The other part of his story goes like this: He saw that a car initially from the inner most lane was slowly switching lanes and it is obvious that the driver is making a U-turn. All he did was to cautiously change lane and change direction. The best part of the story is the driver finally managed to make the U-turn but was at the outer most lane! Amazingly, the on-coming car not only did not crash into him, but slowed down and let the u-turn driver filter to join the opposite direction cars.

Moral is: We must stay focus and sharp at the same time. The circumstances and situation changes rapidly, so we have to adept to changes and react positively to it; much like the on-coming driver who slowed down his vehicle so as to adept to the changes instantly.

Cheers and Live with Passion!
