You are allowed to walk as slow as you want, as long as you do not stop. Winners are those who when they hit a "hump" drive slowly and not park at the "hump".

The old fairy tale of the Rabbit and the Tortoise racing comes to mind, although the rabbit was super fast, it got distracted, whilst the Tortoise kept at it one slow step at a time, and when the Tortoise hit the finishing line the Rabbit was miles away because he got side-tracked and distracted, the Tortoise won the race.

Here is the moral of the story: 'You will win if you do not quit, winners never quit and quitters never win'.
Bapedi bona bare "Lebelo ga lena motloga pele", while Ecclesiastes 9:11 reminds us that "the race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all".
So this morning I purpose to stay on my track and run as swiftly and as consistent as I can and should. That is what I am going to do with my time and chance today, I am going to Keep Walking.
Thank you Alphe Maphosa for reminding us of this great truth yesterday at Rivers of Glory in Mamelodi.
