Slow and Steady


I went to play bowling with my friends today after going to our batchmate's wedding. I am so happy

that if I am not the winner, I am the 1st runner up.

Actually, I am trying the new way of playing. The slow-rolling technique.

When I was in my high school, I got a friendly match with my homeroom members.

There was this one girl who was on 3-4th place. Me? Well I threw the ball hard. Sometimes I got

strike, but mostly it missed. I just remembered my mark was higher that that girl.

That girl, just playing effortlessly, but at the end, she was the winner.

Other people? They got high mark earlier but later on the last game, as our hand was sore and

tired, our target was off and our ball kept going to the drain.

That girl? She doesn't get strike much often but the collect pair.

She won. Dang it! Well she was a sports girl so I guess her athletic skills does her a wonder.

Anyhow, What I want to say was I tried her way. But instead of just throwing the ball blinding, I

literally rolled the ball. As my finger was genetically fat, I can only use heavy balls.

Usually, I will throw the ball as hard as I can until my hand felt so sore but this time, I just

try to roll it centre, then try to finish with a pair.

It works! My friend was leading but at the end, I won because their hand was sore. Bahaha. They

said I played like an Auntie. Whatever, as long as I win. Hahahahahaha

So, the morale of this story was, well I don't know really. But I guess in life there is fast way

and slow way. Like my career pathway.

I mean, if a person loves doing something, and he did it little by little everyday, he will

definitely becomes expert on it.

I think it applies to all people. Even though there's exist those geniuses who can master things

within short period, but those rushed act will not last long.

So, slow doesn't means bad ending. It could be just another brick for a bigger achievement. :)
