Confucius Quote

"It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop."

Confucius has many famous quote, and each of these has deep meanings. However, in my opinion the quote: "It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop." is a very valid and encouraging one. Confucius quote encourages people needs to believe in themselves and never give up. In your life, you always want to achieve your goals. You try your best to reach your goals, but you need to overcome many obstacles as well. You may feel tired and depress when you have a hard time. Nevertheless, you should stay positive and keep moving forward. Besides that, you may make mistakes which make your goals stay far away. You want to stop at that time, and reaching your objectives becomes harder and slower. But the most important thing is you learn from your own mistakes and you do not stop.

In addition, this quote is very similar to an old story about racing between a Turtle and a Rabbit. Rabbit is arrogant because he thinks he can run very fast. He does not try his best in the racing. On the other hand, Turtle knows his weakness, so he works hard in the racing, As a result, Turtle is a winner. I think Confucius quote also encourages people that they should not feel depress about their weaknesses. They should face the weakness and try to overcome it.

I read Michelle and Quynh'posts.
