Taking things for granted

I suddenly realise today that we take things for granted the ones that we most frequently do in our life. No wonder, we always end up in trouble most of the time. Sometimes we move too fast. And in being fast, we forget to notice whats around us.
As an example, when we're driving. It's always 100km or above. We forget to cruise at 80km per hr. We're so use to being fast, we find it difficult to slow down. It becomes uncomfortable. There is nothing wrong in being slow. It makes us to notice what's un-noticeable to those who are fast. That is taking place in our life right now.
We are too imerse in our rat-race life, that we tend to take what's really important in our life for granted. The true values and principles tend to drown in our hectic race to be in front. We forget the simple basic things in life, smile, respect, being true at heart, keeping up with the rules and regulations, of what's right and what's wrong. We end up in turmoil.
Slow down and start to appreciate things that are around us. We may never have another second chance. People are destroying what's important nowadays and putting the important things in life at where it should not be !
