Hey boss~
How are you?
Life is a marathon
So, here is the question. If you were running a 10k and were 1k behind everyone else, would you run harder to try to catch up or would you stop to play hop scotch?
Well, I guess it depends on a few things:
Are you tired? If you are tired of running, you may want to stop and rest a bit.
Are you young or old? If you are older, you may want to take a rest. If you are younger, you may want to catch up.
Are you competitive? If you are competitive and want to be your best, you should try to catch up. You may also want to try to win.
Finishing is not always enough
If you are running this marathon because you are improving your lifestyle, and it is a challenge, then finishing is a great thing. Good for you!
But if you are a seasoned runner, if you have finished other races, then just finishing is not enough. You need to catch up. You need to not play hop scotch. You need to make that effort to at least finish with the pack. You don’t want to finish 1k behind the pack.
Reward
The reward is pride of achievement. The good feeling you have being good at something. I can’t think of a better feeling than going from behind to being at the finish line even a bit ahead of time.
Respect is another reward of catching up. When you catch up, the crowd really roars. You are an exceptional person when you go from last place to finishing with the pack.
Be exceptional. You will be a better person.
Yeah!
Smile for me.
