The panda is a great teacher in many ways and one of the lessons that the panda makes clear is that we should slow down.

Pace Yourself

Truly; what is the point of being able to do ten things at once when it leaves you unable to appreciate any single one of them. It is a fact that life has become very rushed and we are not always in a position to take the time that we deserve and spend it on the ones that we care for or even the things that we love to do.
Here the panda teaches us that we need to slow down the pace even if it can only be done from time to time, this lesson from the panda comes forth when we look at the panda go about his life seemingly motivated by bamboo and his resourcefulness to attain it all the while doing so at a slow moving pace, the panda does not think about the next bamboo stalk while he is at another, it simply relaxes into the enjoyment of the moment that he is in.
When we slow down our pace, we allow ourselves to appreciate and experience the moment that we are in, the people that we share these moments with as well as the things that we do. Life goes by ever so fast and savoring every single moment might just be one of the best ways to make the most of life.
