We are always rushing here and there so that we can do this n that before a certain time. Meeting a client, submitting a file, completing the deployment, etc. But when such things require us to rush, we have to do it because it's part of our life and in certain cases, part of what makes us survive in this world. Just that, I feel it's important to slow down once in a while. Just like your trip to Canada. I'm sure you came back feeling a lot better and energized? And tat is also why a lot of people love to hide somewhere, vacation, hobby, drinking, etc....... even though those are short term solutions, but they do give us a room to breathe and relax. Ok, maybe not drinking. But well, you get the idea. Oh.. i honked a taxi driver who was driving 20km/h in SPRINT before. :P Then I took over, and he pointed middle finger. hahaha. <br/> <b>@ Apple</b> Of course, when we're at work, our bosses HANDLE our time. What I want to say here is even though some people are controlling our time and we need to rush most of the time...it does pay off to slow down every now and then. :) It's not about money or not. It's about the life you are having now. Don't you feel tired rushing here n there EVERY TIME? Rushing won't help you fix certain issues, and it certainly won't allow you to admire and appreciate the things around you. :) @ Damien

Its your bosses and clients who tell you when and where you should be." Well, let's face it, without money it's hard for us to "enjoy" our life. Contribute to the world is like old folk story which doesn't really apply in today's world. Everyone talk about $ first before doing anything. I have no patience when people driving so slow when the road is so clear, especially when the traffic light turns green and the driver in front still driving slowly like the whole world is his/hers. It's eating my time and my fuel! Kinda agree with Damien on “when you are earning a salary, time is no longer completely yours to control.

That's how I feel when I'm caught in a jam. The other things is, when you are earning a salary, time is no longer completely yours to control. Its your bosses and clients who tell you when and where you should be. That contributes to all the rushing. There's only one thing that bugs me more than rushing, and that's the car that's going 40km/h at a 110km/h zone, haha.
