After a few conversations she had said something to me that I wont forget, mainly since I have to travel for work for the next two months. She had said "Slow Eatting, Slow Walking, Fast Working" Since our professional lives have taken us both somewhere else but still say hello here and there, the fondness of the time that we have known each other that this proverb has really stuck with me. I have heard many of these proverbs in my life in my own family but none of them has really worked for me like this one, mainly because I am not flying down the pacific coast freeway @105mph in the company rental with a chicken wrap in my hand. Now, I obey the speed limit which has given some enjoyment to see the coast scenes while driving and driving slow enough to see some great establishments that I would stop and have a meal instead of my old way of doing things on a business trip, a liking to taking things slow. Have any of you heard this proverb before "Slow Eating, Slow Walking, Fast Working"? and if so, could you post a pinyin and proper translation? and possibly your take on this translation? even if it may seem straight forward. Also, if you ever heard this ancient proverb "Your neighbor's wife looks prettier than your own." Haha, Take care everybody, I will be traveling for 2 months and my Blackberry doesn't allow TCG.
