Slow, Slow, Slow

When we travel to other countries, we take a plane to travel faster, not on a cruise ship.
In the land trip, we usually take train or car. We do not take a horse-carriage which was popular few hundred years ago.
But, in others things we must be slow and slow, especially when we cross the road, to obey green signal is to protect our life.
When we eat slow, it is the best to our health, especially to the old people. If old people over seventy eat too fast, they may die by fast eating.
In old saying: “You can sail a ship, safe for thousand years if you are careful. Such is our Chinese philosophy.
In the past history steamers collided to iceberg and thousands of passengers died. It was possible that the steamer sailed too fast.
English has a slang: “Look before jump,” which is similar in meaning as our Chinese slang. Think three times before we decide to do a thing.
