DRIVE FASTER

A teacher once organized a lesson for her toddler class. She decided to teach them the meaning of the colours of the traffic light. 

"Red means stop", she commenced to teach with full energy. 

"Yellow means get ready"

"Green means go, go, go and go" she concluded reciting the old poem. 

Soon after she finished and was about to ask her pupils to repeat after her, Lovia, one of her pupils shot up her hand. 

"Please Madam, I have a question", she said amidst doubts that could be read on her face. 

"Yes, ask your question", the teacher said. 

"Please, i think the yellow light means drive faster", she expressed her views as the teacher bust into laughter. 

"Why do you think so?" she asked the little girl. 

"Please Madam, I think so because any time daddy is driving and the yellow light shows up, he drives faster", she concluded with a feeling of convincing the teacher. 

"That is good, Lovia!" the teacher responded. "Daddy has the right to drive faster when the yellow light shows before he will be stopped by the red light. The yellow means you should be getting ready to stop. 

There are a few lessons to be learnt here. The amber or the yellow light should be a warning signal to prompt us of stoppages in life. At times, we need to drive faster knowing very well that the red lights of life will stop us from progressing, reaching our target and not achieving the set goals. 

The amber or the yellow light should fuel some energy into us to fight on and strive to scale over all the hurdles and match forward. 

Let's drive faster when all shows that life, business, work and good things are getting ready to stop. There is no stopping after crossing the traffic lights in light. Drive on to achieve your vision in this year.
