Do you like challenges? Or do you like to work smarter and not harder? Do you like to be part of the pack? Or do you like to stand out? Are you more of a person who just gets on the escalator to not tire themselves for whatever they’re doing after? Or are you more of a person who challenges yourself and climbs up or down the stairs unlike most other people?
Most people would want to be like stairs so that they can feel special compared to others, but it can be hard to get outside of your comfort zone and challenge yourself in life when most other people are not doing the same thing. Being like escalators is not a bad thing at all. Those people just work more efficiently than others and do just enough to succeed in their lives. When deciding whether to use the escalators or stairs, these people decide to use the escalators as there really isn’t any reason to work harder, like tiring yourself by going up the stairs, for something that the escalators can provide.
But being like stairs can show the desire of a person who wants to challenge themselves in any little way. These people do things many people just decline to do to either make themselves a stronger person, or just to feel that small satisfaction of doing things that most people decide not to do. Being like stairs is more of a mentality and effort thing. Going up the escalators can be very tempting, but why not challenge yourself and go up the stairs for once.
I personally consider myself as mostly an escalator. I like to do what many people are doing, I really don’t challenge myself to my full potential, and I like to work smarter and not harder. I at times can show signs that I’m more like stairs than escalators, like times where I decide to do extremely more than what a teacher is expecting for an assignment, but I think many people, including myself, see me as more of an escalator than stairs.

It’s true, while most people who take the stairs feel superior compared to others, sometimes all the hard work isn’t necessary when you can do it at a more efficient pace. I definitely consider myself as an escalator, challenging oneself does take a lot of courage and effort and I admire those who can.
ReplyDeleteNice blog. I'm definitely a person that likes to challenge myself for the heck of it. I like the idea that "you work smarter, not harder." It made me laugh a little, because I definitely work too hard for the simplest of things. I definitely can learn a thing or two from a person who rides an escalator.
