Direction Matters

Direction Matters

A young man was speeding on his bike along a highway when he stopped to check his mobile for directions. A middle-aged man pulled up in his car and asked, "Can I help you?" The young man inquired about the route to a particular place. The middle-aged man exited his vehicle and provided him with directions.

After the young man thanked, the middle-aged man said, "If you don't mind, I’d like to give you some advice." The young man nodded in agreement. The middle-aged man continued, "I was once like you, speeding along the highway, but I realised that being fast isn't always the best way to reach your destination. Remember, speed doesn’t guarantee you’ll arrive on time; it’s the right direction that truly leads you there." The young man smiled and thanked him for the advice.

Sometimes in life or business, we might feel the urge to rush toward our goals. However, this approach doesn't always lead us to success. When both our destination and direction are clear, we can move forward at a steady pace.

For example, if one person talks about ways another could improve, the listener might offer excuses such as a lack of time, resources, or support. Alternatively, they may bring up personal emotions, like health or family issues. These reactions often occur while the other person is still speaking, leading to a decreased understanding and an increased eagerness to defend one’s position. During this type of conversation, the listener may appear restless, exhibiting a lack of eye contact or head nodding. In such interactions, th...
