S.O.S/اس.ا.اس


259th story

The Airbus A380 smoothly passed over the Atlantic Ocean when an Army Jet passed it so fast.

Jet’s pilot showed off many tricky moves around the Airbus for over ten minutes, then slowed his speed and asked the Airbus’s pilot on the radio: ” Flying with an Airbus must be very boring? “

Airbus’s pilot replied: “What a beautiful show it was, fascinating. But while you were trying so hard, I stood up, did some exercise moves, had a cup of coffee, and some cookies. Can you do that?”

When we are young, we have more energy.

But usually waste it unplanned and uselessly.

But past fifty, we learn to use our energy more wisely. We do everything we used to, but in a more relaxed and enjoyable way.

Therefore, S.O.S here means;

Slower

Older

Smarter

We learned to slow our speed and enjoy the remaining journey.

The destination isn’t at the end of the road.

The destination can be on the road, like

Watching the sunset,

Seeing children’s innocent smiles

Hearing birds chirps

And millions of beautiful things we passed by so fast without enjoying, when we were younger.

Let’s take it more easily and enjoy the ride.
