About This Quote
The sun is a star and a star is a huge ball of fire far, far away from us. The sun does not stand still, but it does move across the sky at a constant speed. If we could make the sun run backward, we might be able to slow down time or maybe even stop it. But we can’t do that.
So, instead of trying to control the sun, we must think about what we can do to make our own lives more enjoyable. Even though we cannot control everything in the world, we can control how we spend our time.
