willpower

Walk slowly to get there fast

Author's name: Ezz El-Din Adam Jabbar

In the past, before the invention of cars and airplanes, people used to travel in camel caravans. During that, they did not walk in a straight line, but rather followed the givens of the road. They would encounter a high mountain, meet others around it, and hear that there are bandits ahead of them, so they would take another road and walk away from them. They reached a well where water was expected to be. They found it dry and made their way to another well. Through all of this, they succeeded in reaching their desired destination. Likewise, our individual success requires from us a strong will and determination to arrive at any cost. We free ourselves from the shackles of indulgence and our deep stop at the easy, rosy spaces, and we learn the language of the land with its rough roads and arduous deserts.
