Pit Stop!





#Pit Stop!

“I am So busy that I don’t have time for this!” Does this resonate with you? As Virus Says in 3 Idiots, Life is a race.. If you don't run fast.. You will be like a broken anda (egg) like the gangu bird... Each one of us strives hard to run the fastest in our lives, to achieve more, to meet our wants than needs, to grow by all means. Growth, achievements, accolades are all very important to keep us motivated to do better. They signify that day after day, we are improving and doing things better than yesterday.

Talking about race, in motor sports, one cannot imagine the track without a pit stop. Pit stop serves many purposes, but most important of all is ‘Refueling’. You need to ensure you have enough Fuel to win the race. Champions know and they ensure that they get the best done at the pit stops. Be it refueling the car, replace old with new tires, did repairs and make mechanical adjustments.

We human beings seldom realize the importance of a pit stop. We are so busy running our race that at times we miss stopping at a pit stop, just to ensure we finish first. We are lucky probably most of the times, but as we start getting overworked, our engines lack the punch to perform well, our tires are worn out, we don’t have enough fuel to reach the finishing line. Result: We lose the race.

As Pit stops are important in motor sports, they are required in our lives too. No matter how busy you are, no matter how important the race is, a well-timed Pit Stop (Break) ensures you are fit to run/race and win it too.
