Life is Like Riding a Bicycle

Life is lived forward and understood backward. It is like driving an automobile where the windscreen in front of us is spectacularly large to give us a clear view of what is ahead as opposed to the small rear-view mirror for us to see what is behind us. 

And, striking a balance or finding our balance is the key to life. Albert Einstein said that: "Life is like a riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you have to keep moving." Oh, yes, he thought of that why riding a bicycle!

Occasionally, we may take a fall why riding our bicycle. Don't stay down. Get up, get going and find your balance again by moving forward. This is a timely reminder by William J. Clinton, "If you live long enough, you'll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you'll be a better person. It's how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit."

As we keep learning, exploring and developing our skills in the University of Life, we will find our balance. Consider the concept of balance that literally launch the New Balance Athletic Shoe Inc. as extracted from Wikipedia:-

"In 1906, William J. Riley, British emigrant, founded the New Balance Arch Support Company, manufacturing arch supports and other accessories designed to improve shoe fit in the Boston area. His first product, a flexible arch support, was designed with three support points to provide greater balance and comfort in the shoe. It is believed that Riley came up with the name "New Balance" by observing chickens in his yard and demonstrated the way his arch supports worked by keeping a chicken foot on his office desk. He explained to customers that the chicken's three-clawed foot resulted in perfect balance."
