Slowly but surely...

It's not just a phrase I'm using to excuse myself from the tonnes of work I've got to do since I missed 3 days of lecture. Influenza...bla bla bla yada yada yada...

My own fault for not taking care of my health.

But really, I really mean it. Slowly but surely.

I used to think that it was impossible to achieve something for certain in a lackadaisical manner.

Thats where people get the phrase totally wrong. What it really means is that, no hurry. Do it slowly, do it well, perfect in every sense of the word and there, YOU HAVE IT. A masterpiece!

Sometimes, rushing while getting something done puts you at risk of doing it all over again (amendments, corrections, errors, you name it! Flaws come in different shapes and sizes, not to mention its intensity! Erk!)

What are you going to do when your mistakes are beyond repair? Like when you stain your white shirt with ketchup and to make matters worse, being in such a hurry to remove the stain, you RUB the stain in until it smudges all over your white shirt! Believe me, clorox-it all you want, but a stain like that, lives forever. Maybe not evidently on your shirt after the amount of Vanish, Kao Bleach, talcum powder and whatnot that has been applied on it, but mentally...Heaven knows.

White shirt=ketchup stains (Erk!)

So...choice is in your hands.

As for me I'll resort to the Road Not Taken.
