A friend sold his truck and gave an owner’s overview to the buyer, who was about to take it on a long solo journey. “Watch out with this one,” he said. “You’ll be going 90 before you know it and nodding off for a second at 65 is a lot different than nodding off at 90.”
It’s good advice not only for this truck but also as a personal philosophy. If you’re pushing the limits in your schedule or daily routines, there is little room for even a small setback. A minor hiccup can cause far more trouble when you’re driving (yourself) at maximum speed than when you’re operating at a normal pace.
Even though you can accelerate to warp speed, it’s best to stick to a reasonable limit — in both your vehicle and your life.
