Clock and Compass

Both the compass and the clock are similar in shape and have two hands. Yet they teach us different lessons by the purpose they serve. The hands of the compass that always point to the north tells us that we need to have one direction and focus in life. The hands of the clock that keep going round and round tells us that we need to work consistently towards that focus while remaining within our ethical boundaries. The small hand that moves slowly indicate that our thinking and decision making have to be deliberate, cautious and clever. The longer hand that moves faster indicates that our actions needs to be quick and precise once the decision has been made on any matter in life.
