Analogy of Life Derived

It's amazing what little kids can teach us about life.

Right now Azad's playing Burnout 3: Takedown, and playing Road Rage. He's using a very slow car, weight pun sikit, and all he does is press the 'X' button with his little thumb and you know what?

He has 18 takedowns to his name! All without my help.

He's a three y/o by the way.

What I'm trying to say is, he's driving slowly, letting the other cars come to him to try and take him down, he holds his ground, and they are the ones taken down in the end. Sure, it took him ages to reach 18, but then he did it with minimum damage.

Compare this to the way I play. I use fast cars, drive aggressively, swerving right and left, right and left to just shunt the other automobiles to the wall, so that I can himpit them and score! But in no time at all I reach 'Damage Critical' and at what price? Retry, Retry, Retry.

It's worth noting that life in the fast lane damages you, and there is no Retry that'll be your security net, no chance to do it all over again.

The end.
