Slow and steady wins the race

to get yourself fired, or honked at.

I never know whether to wave when I'm honked at or to give some other signal that I heard and acknowledge their impatience. Sometimes I just wave and smile as though I know them. I've often thought about stopping to say hello and find out what they wanted to tell me, but I'm sure they are in too much of a hurry to discuss matters with me. And we could have become such great friends. Usually, they will pass me by and politly cut in front of me. That's okay, they probably have an emergency to deal with. Life gets to be in too much of a rush. You need to slow down and smell the dandelions.
