Sense

I’ve come to understand the importance of working in my own “PACE” not in the speed anyone wants me to work in, i.e the speed that my parents may want me to work in, the speed my friends may expect me to work in, the speed peer pressure may want me to work in or maybe the speed the society may want me to work in.
I give no attention to these as i have perceived them as “pressure” so I work in my own “PACE and COMFORT”

Unnecessary pressure can lead to not valuing one's work, you will feel that you are not doing much but once you take a little breath and you will see all you have achieved.
Work at your own rate

I love reading, researching and working smart.

Well said, Progress is still progress, one step at a time
