One thing about traffic is that it takes place on a road. It follows simple rules that are easy for anyone to figure out and it seems to be just like life. If you go off road you are on your own. There are no rules or regulations to follow, no template set out and you may either be a pioneer blazing new paths, or you may end up in a ditch. The probability of either is just the same. Another simple rule is that you can’t stop and go at the same time. You have to be doing one thing or another never two things at the same time. You may want to go in two directions, but you will inevitably be subject to the law of individual choice, or you will have to do things in sequence. One thing for certain, your opportunities are always going to be right in front of you and if you don’t take advantage of them you will suffer the fate of the procrastinator. That fate is sinister to the extreme and will sometimes haunt you forever. You may never get that missed opportunity again and also several other opportunities that would have followed in the correct sequence may also be lost. And remember, don’t look too far ahead, your journey begins with you and is created as you go along almost like a river that has broken its banks. The next time you see a traffic light remember that it is just like life, you will only see green when red is on the other side. If nothing is coming something is going.
