Or walking. Every day, thousands of tiny events happen and if you're not watching, if you're not careful, if you don't capture them and make them COUNT, your could miss it. You could miss your whole life. ↗
As for the journey of life; at some point you will realize that YOU are the driver and you will drive! ↗
