It seems that everyone is in a hurry these days. In our fast- paced and competitive society many people feel that they must do things as quickly as possible or they will fall behind. Certainly, there are many things for us to do. However, I do not believe that it is necessary to always hurry to get them done. In fact, living life at a slower pace has many advantages.
First of ail, slowing down allows us to think more clearly about what we must do. With careful consideration we will make better decisions and make fewer mistakes. And when we do not have to correct the mistakes that we make in haste, we will actually save time. Second, when we take our time we can do things more carefully and thoroughly. And when we do a better job we will feel more satisfied with our efforts. Finally, if we do not rush through life, we will have more time to enjoy the things that we do. And when we take pleasure in our work, we will live happier lives.
In sum, taking our time when we do things has several advantages. By always hurrying we may accomplish more in one day, but we will soon become tired and inefficient. In the end, we will waste time by making bad decisions and mistakes that need to be corrected. That is why I believe that living life at a slower pace is preferable.
