I live by these

"Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn't know it so it goes on flying anyway"

Meaning : Science is not everything , a living being has enormous potential and ability to surpass expectations !

Marathon

Life for sure exercises a lot - for it always has its running shoes on .... and for the most part we keep jogging along too ... not noticing the pure joy of simple things around ... hardly has anyone seen the sun rise or set ... hardly do we notice the wonderful patterns in the clouds ....

Life is too filled with tasks to be done ,goals to be accomplished and constant progress to be made .... and this competitive and never satisfied approach shows up in our outings and holidays too .... holiday planners are made up of hundreds of places to visit and activities to cover that the very essence of a relaxing holiday is lost ... its a mad race where everyone wants to have travelled everywhere else and done everything possible .....

Tight work schedules , hectic holiday plans and an ever demanding lifestyle accelerate the running further and we gradually start running out of gas ....its towards the far end of the journey as we inch slowly and wearily do we have time to gaze around and notice the beauty around ... curves of the road ,beauty of the fall , colours of the birds , smell of fresh air .... and then its a lil late to realize that the country road detour would have led to a much healthier life that the super speeding freeway !!!
