Walking or Standing?
I have been traveling quite a bit lately and I’m always amazed at the life and leadership lessons that I pick up while traveling. The lessons come from observations, people watching, experiences and the list goes on and on.
The last time I was traveling I stepped on to one of those moving sidewalks (as seen in the picture that I took above). This moving sidewalk has many names: travelator, horizontal escalator, walkalator, autowalk, movator or moving sidewalk. Personally I like “Walkalator.” I think it’s because the name took me back to my old school days with Warren G & “Regulator.”
I noticed there are two types of people that get on the “Walkalator,” those who stand and those who walk. Whether you walk or stand the “Walkalator” is moving. I prefer to get on the “Walkalator” and continue walking like I’m on a treadmill.
That’s the story of life: The world is moving, changing and growing. We have a choice, we can either stand or walk. I choose to walk, I choose to move, I choose to grow, I choose to change.
Walk!
“For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.” John Fitzgerald Kennedy
