On-screen text
Have you ever heard of the turtle theory?
Turtles don't rush, they don't panic,
and they don't care who is ahead of them.
They just. They just keep swimming,
one stroke at a time. Pause through chaos,
through calm. And somehow
they always make it to the shore.
Because speed means
absolutely nothing when your
journey is built on patience.
