Festus Ezeli and the Green Sea Turtle: A Lesson in Purpose and Energy
“The reason I had not been able to keep up with him was because I was paddling all the time, no matter which way the water was flowing. At first I was fine. I was able to stay with him. I even had to slow my paddling sometimes, but the more I battled against the incoming waves, the more tired I became. This meant that when the wave was going out, I didn't have enough energy to take advantage of it.”
