“kik kak, kik kak, kik kak,…’ Have you ever pay attention to the noise at the traffic light before?

This noise is common in the country that I live in.

When you walk on the street, you come to a junction that needs to cross the road on green.

Sometimes you need to press the button on the pole of the traffic light for it to turn green for you to cross the street.

Sometimes you may notice, someone who is nearer to the pole, keep pressing the button in hoping the pedestrian traffic would turn green sooner.

Same as in the lift, just the noise has become ‘dek, dek, dek…’ One keeps pressing the ‘close’ button for the lift door to close …. hopefully …..quicker.

It happens onboard too, many doubt the call light not working so well, therefore, becomes Christmas decoration at night in the cabin.

We maybe aware, no matter how many time we press the button, the speed for the traffic light to turn green is the same.

It is just like in a flow of starting a new business or learning a new skill.

There are times when we are not mature enough to start a new career; we experience a longer waiting time to be successful.

It is just like standing at the junction with red light. No matter how much we work by pressing the button, we still need to wait for the light to turn green.

There are times, we have let go of the limiting beliefs with learning to move, thus, the waiting time is much shorter than we expected.

Maybe you have this feeling before.

You are standing at this side of the road, but your mind and heart are over at the other side of the road. The waiting is even much longer in your mind’s time.

No matter how much you wanted to be at the other side of the road, the waiting time is the same. And you feel even longer if your mind is not at where you are.

You may even experience this before. When your heart and mind are over across the road while you are standing at this side of the junction, you feel your heartbeat unhealthily faster and heavier.

You admire the people over the other side could reach the destination sooner, by doing so, you forgotten the beauty of working at the present.

By focusing on how others could reach faster, you have actually slow down your own journey by omitting what’s in your hands.
