CONSIDER THIS...
''FIND YOUR OWN PACE''
---''It is hard to drive 10 mph.'' This is a statement made by the leader of the Safety Team. It is very true-in a car. It is very difficult to DRIVE at 10 mph. It is very difficult in a car, but, if we are in another vehicle, it is different.
---Normal walking, for humans, is about 4.5 to 5.0 mph. It is easy to judge the car if you're a walker at this speed, but driving in a car, you feel as if you were barely moving. Even the walker would wonder why the car is going so slow?
---I am in a wheelchair, and it looks slow to me, also. Even in a Motorized Wheelchair. We know, though, If the car ever hit the wheelchair, he would easily knock it over, even at 10 mph. At any speed, taking the ''bulk'' of the car into consideration, it would be hard not to be injured. If you consider the frailty of the ''usual'' wheelchair person, one has the potential for a real-bad situation. This is all pretty obvious. Now, let's look at the Human Behavior side of thing.
---Have you ever been taught something by someone who knows his subject backwards and forward and has NO patience with YOUR not knowing? Here, again, we have two different rates of speed. These people can easily talk so fast and over your head, and they may not be aware of it. They may as well be speaking in a foreign language.
---To have this work on both sides, a happy medium must be reached-for the sake of ''happiness,'' alone. We must be mindful of our audience. The Slower Movers must make way for the Faster and Vice-Versa. There is a place for everyone. Remember the Rules of Relationship- The way YOU see it, The way HE/SHE or THEY sees it, and What the ''two'' of you AGREE upon. [To find Someone or Something we actually AGREE with, much or most of the time, can be very difficult.] Be patient and make room for others.
---If you are comfortable and the pace is ''good,'' you may be going at a speed that is ''right'' for you. Remember, there is No right or wrong pace, it is only right or wrong for you. If things are not comfortable, than, admit it, at least to yourself. Confucius says that knowing this is the ''beginning'' of intelligence. When things unfold at a pace we deal, most of the time, Life can be quite enjoyable, for EVERYONE. It seems that, the ''trick'' is to find your ''own'' pace, and work from there. Be Well.
