Quote by Kin Hubbard

A bee is never as busy as it seems; it's just that it can't buzz any slower.

A bee is never as busy as it seems; it's just that it can't

Summary

This quote highlights the common misconception surrounding busy-ness. It emphasizes that although a bee appears frantic with activity and urgency, its actions are dictated by its natural instinct and ability, leaving no room for slower pace. Similarly, when people perceive others as exceptionally busy, they may overlook the fact that individuals are simply operating within their own limits and capabilities. This quote encourages understanding and empathy, reminding us not to assume constant busy-ness but instead appreciate the circumstances that may be driving someone's apparent busyness.
