Sports Day

It was our son's maiden participating in sports and he was in a team relay event. They started well and they were leading but sad to say, half way through the event, one of his team members was a bit too enthusiastic and started taking off the loop before he reached the other side and this caused the team to be penalized. In the end the team turned out last.

Doesn't this reflect our lives too? If we will to take the short cut every day and every time when we are doing our homework or work, we will never be able to get the basics right and this may one day turn our to be the very "torn" that would bring us down.
