It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.

It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.

Don’t stop when you are tired. Stop when you are done.

I don't stop when I'm tired. I stop when I'm done

On peut s'arrêter quand on monte, jamais quand on descend.

I don’t stop when I’m tired. I only stop when I’m done ...

Whatever comes, just don’t stop. That’s

There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you.

You avoid stalling out in your career by never losing momentum.

So I’ve got limits on how fast I can go — both my own (I can only go so fast for so long before I fall over and pant to death) and those of the others on the hike. However, there is no limit on my ability to slow down. Or on anyone else’s ability to slow down. Or stop. And if any of us did, the line would extend indefinitely. What’s happening isn’t an averaging out of the fluctuations in our various speeds, but an accumulation of the fluctuations. And mostly it’s an accumulation of slowness — because dependency limits the opportunities for higher fluctuations. And that’s why the line is spreading. We can make the line shrink only by having everyone in the back of the line move much faster than Ron’s average over some distance.

Here’s a quote from ultramarathoner Dick Collins: Decide before the race the conditions that will cause you to stop and drop out. You don’t want to be out there saying, “Well gee, my leg hurts, I’m a little dehydrated, I’m sleepy, I’m tired, and it’s cold and windy.” And talk yourself into quitting. If you are making a decision based on how you feel at that moment, you will probably make the wrong decision.

Well I don't know but I've been told, you never slow down, you never grow old.

it’s a never-ending upward spiral. And if you think at any point you’re allowed to stop climbing, I’m afraid you’re missing the point. Because the joy is in the climb itself.

Honestly, if you were any slower, you’d be going backward.
