Rush Hour

"What is the LONG that we humans can LEARN from a turtle?"

Posted by Dr. Colin Ross on January 17, 2024

Are you the person who drives 55mph in a 55mph speed zone?

YES.

Are you the person who will not use the speedy checkout lane when you have 21 items to purchase and the limit for speedy check out lane purchases is 20 items?

YES.

Are you the person who pulls over to the right lane when driving on a freeway, 2 exits before you have to take YOUR exit on the freeway?

YES.

Turtles teach us the importance of taking our time when our goal in life is to slow down aging and enjoy longevity.

SO;

Chew your food instead of inhaling it. Take short vacations over longer time periods. Since every commuter is in a rush during "Rush Hour" we are all by default forced to slow down anyway.

Walking and chewing gum at the same time is not the same as walking and choking on that gum when it was accidently swallowed while walking. Multitasking once in a while is ok but every medical specialist I know is really good at one thing.

The longevity we can learn from turtles if they could sing would be this song "Momma used to say take your time young man. Momma used to say don't you RUSH to get old"
