From 'Small Steps' by Louis Sachar
“Life is like crossing a river. If you try to take too big a step, the current will knock you off your feet and carry you away.”
I guess we sometimes feel in hurry and want to arrive sooner (I'm not even sure I really know the destination), that is why we try to take a little too-big-step. But, then the big step makes our walk a bit unstable, thus it becomes easier to get knocked off by the current.
Taking small steps may not satisfy us in the feeling, we all just in hurry for....idk what. Maybe we see other people jump easily on the river or take a boat, or even already crossed the river or climb the tree on the other side, which makes us compare...our progress with other's result..again.
But well, we all have our own baggage, or different body structure, that makes the pace to cross the river different for all of us. And it is fine to take a small step. As long as we're focusing on our own destination.
