As case ruling looms, ‘sorry’ Najib says already ‘punished politically’ and unfair to hold him legally responsible for 1MDB scandal
But this relentless race has a cost: we pay by missing out on the very essence of life — the small, meaningful moments that make it all worthwhile.Life isn’t about speed; it’s about finding meaning. And meaning can’t be found in a hurry. It’s found when we take the time to savour each moment, when we slow down and allow ourselves to be fully present. As Rumi the poet so beautifully put it, “When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.
Think about your tasks and chores. Whether it’s cleaning the house, writing a report, or working on a project, there is an inherent satisfaction in doing things well, in giving your best effort without cutting corners. Yet, how often do we rush through our work, trying to finish as quickly as possible, only to end up feeling unsatisfied and drained? Slowing down doesn’t mean being less productive; it means being more intentional with how we spend our time.
So, the next time you catch yourself speeding through the day, pause. Take a breath. Slow down. Because when you slow down, you start to see the beauty in the little things. You find joy in moments that would otherwise pass you by. Remember that life isn’t about how fast we can get to the end. It’s about how much meaning we can find along the way.* Dr Ng Kwan Hoong is an Emeritus Professor of Biomedical Imaging at the Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Malaya, and the 2020 Merdeka Award recipient.
