Don't always "lead a snail" (i.e., drag things out).

 　　I've seen many articles about "taking a snail for a walk," "taking a snail on a trip," meaning to slow down like a snail to appreciate the beauty of lush trees and fragrant flowers. Modern society's fast-paced work and life are indeed exhausting, so people are advocating a "slow" lifestyle—eating slowly, walking slowly, slowing everything down, like a snail.

　　However, slowness should be moderate. If you really "take a snail on a trip," then even the most beautiful lush trees and fragrant flowers are just scenery before your eyes; you won't appreciate the boundless beauty beyond. The snail is too slow, so slow that it only wanders in place, then becomes self-absorbed, arrogantly believing it has reached a higher level, a philosophical level. Indeed, many details of life's beauty should not be overlooked; we need to stop and smile at a flower, express our feelings to the white clouds. But don't forget, the most beautiful scenery is ahead. If you are too slow, you will miss the entire spring because of a single flower, and miss the entire sky because of a single white cloud. So, don't always "lead the snail." Move forward, walk, stop, run, and chase—that's how you make your journey rich, colorful, and full of fun.

　　Some say that some time is meant to be wasted. They think that spending a lot of time "leading the snail" will make life poetic and improve its quality. But don't forget, life has much more time to cherish. As members of society, we have a responsibility and obligation to create value through our labor and contribute our time and wisdom to society. At work, sometimes we need to go all out, even run. We can certainly use more time to do more. Back on track, walk, stop, run, and chase—that's how life becomes fulfilling and valuable.

　　Leading the snail occasionally is fine, but if you're always leading the snail, you'll probably be driven crazy by it, wanting nothing more than to stomp on it. If everyone leads the snail, life will be like it's on slow motion, entering an abnormal state, and society will stagnate and become unhealthy.

　　Life needs a combination of fast and slow, and appropriate adjustments. Slowing down is a short rest, not procrastination; it's adjustment, not a constant state; it's relaxation, not indulgence. The same applies to everything; too much of anything is bad. If you're always leading a snail on a walk, you'll eventually forget how to walk on your own. So, don't always "lead a snail."
