Arretez!

I've been running all through my life. Running towards a goal, something that will supposedly add meaning and significance to my life. But as I reached it, I noticed that my goal transcended into something bigger. So, the journey wasn't over! Through these 3 years "THE GOAL" shifted from being Class rep, to Exec rep, to getting GP, to being nominated, to winning, to getting best outgoing of dept...and then? Best outgoing of college?

Ok so I'm college president. And I am mostly getting the GP this year. SO? So what? This time... I'm not going to run anymore. "Best Outgoing student" awards don't matter.

Why do we run so much? I remember reading in a Reader's Digest edition that when compared to running, jogging is much more effective.

So my message to you all today is- Stop running....start jogging!

Insane? No! Running only makes you exhausted... jogging keeps your energy until the end.

When we run we're so blind to the road. We might trip and fall, because we're not looking down. We're too fast, and the journey is just a blur to us. We don't see the other people in our way, we're oblivious to their presence because we're only looking at the finish line!

Life's not a race! Life's about the journey...not the destination.

So find your own pace, one that you're comfortable with. And start jogging. Smile at the people in your way, and enjoy every moment of your journey.

Cause it's worth it.

Life's too short to just walk slowly through....but it's also too beautiful to just run through!
