The answer?

Run Tortoise! Run!

What do all these things have in common?

1. The weather. As Mark Twain said, “Everyone complains about the weather but no one does anything about it.”
2. Drivers: some drive too slow, some too fast, some too recklessly, some too cautiously and that’s why they remind me of Goldilocks.
3. Parenting. As the saying goes, “one characteristic of the normal child is that s/he doesn't act that way very often.”
4. Waiting. Life can be like that spinning circle of dots on your computer screen: loading-loading-loading.
5. Goals. Some may say this is poor word choice, but even turtles run.    
6. Change. Turn the page or don’t: it’s your story. One thing though: who will want to read yours?
7. Relationships. Listen carefully or you will miss the best parts.
8. Peter Jackson movies. The longer the movie, the longer the movie.
9. Being an Oilers fan. That awkward moment when someone is crying and it’s you.
10. Fishing. As Steven Wright says, “there’s a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.”

The answer? They all require extreme patience. Sometimes is seems like learning patience is taking forever.
