"Once a Great Notion", now, a fantasy coming true in a reality. Step-by-step I see that. Those admirable qualities we speak of cannot be but --a end-- to a good, slow trot toward "higher ground".

In response to "On Speed in Progress"

When I was younger I was obsessed with speed; speeding down the highway, speeding through jobs, a marriage, and life in general. The results? Life has passed to fast! I did eventually realize it's better to slow down and enjoy the ride.

In response to "On Speed in Progress"

Ever since becoming a parent, I've been very saddened to see the pressure people put on their kids to perform and succeed from the very beginning. Worrying about college acceptances when deciding on a preschool. Stressing out that if your kid hasn't been playing a musical instrument or a sport since they were three, they're already behind. Not taking certain elective classes, even though they're of interest, because that time should be spent prioritizing grades or core subjects. I think it's unfortunate that so many people these days seem to want their kids to grow at warp speed rather than their own speed.

In response to ""March Madness""

The blogger remembers his childhood memories through this blog post. It is especially March-month-orientated.

In this month, he went to see football matches with his uncle. He was more interested in the fan's activities. He even copied the abusive language.After observing those, his uncle never took him as a partner to see the matches.

We also know that he is a basketball lover. He wished to see him in the playing arena.

Overall, it is a fantastic blog post.

Maybe a March into spring from a wild winter. Run like Mad to spring.

In response to "On Van Gogh's Art"

Vincent Van Gogh was a gifted artist who could express his own thoughts but without denying the reality.He could touch the highest peak of divine expressions without compromising with art. He also advised others not to compromise with art. The reality ought to be there.So he could create wonders.
We, the art lovers, should follow him.

An excellent entry, Joy. Van Gogh was a complex man, wasn’t he? He certainly had those voices in his head.

It's always easier to look at something and say, "I can't do that." In truth, it's by trying that we find better ways.

In response to "Music and Words"

Melody, lyrics, and rhymes can create serious impacts in our minds if reactions don't cross the limit lines. We often see a famous song doesn't generate the same amount of impact in live programs. What is the reason behind it? The overreactions are responsible for that.

It is a crucial blog post. There's no doubt about this.

Sometimes music, regardless of type, just speaks to the soul of a person.

On Speed in Progress

Prompt:
"Your speed doesn't matter. Forward is forward." Write about this in your Blog entry today.

----------

I believe this quote is talking about progress, as long as it is there, be it fast or slow.

Progress's definition in the dictionary is, "Forward or onward movement toward a destination." To me, this means the destination is the aim and not the speed.

To begin with, life's journey is different for each one of us. As long as we are moving forward, be it one small step at a time, we are advancing. This is so important when we are facing self-doubt, setbacks, or challenges. Good teachers know this and in very good schools, such as those operating on the Montessori system, they let students advance at their own pace and their results are fantastic. I know this for sure, since one of my sons attended a Montessori school in his earliest years. Today, he has quite a few degrees and certificates and at 56 years of age, he's still learning.

Then, this idea of moving forward can be applied not just to teaching systems but to many other aspects of life, from careers to fitness to personal concerns.

Unfortunately for us humans, in a world that applauds speed and instant success, sometimes we forget about patience, self-love, and perseverance. We need to remember that life is not a race where we are made to compare our pace to others. We also need to remember to keep our focus on our own life journey. As long as we are in the process of moving forward in tiny steps, without comparing ourselves to others where speed is the concern, we have a very good chance of becoming winners.
