The wrong train

How often do you get on the wrong train?

How quickly do you realise?

How soon do you get off the train?

How expensive is each extra stop?

Is this really only about trains?

This is from a Japanese proverb.

It rings true for everything in life.

We often realise quicker than we think.

We often act later than we should.

The faster we act the cheaper the return.
