The connotation of a snake is not the most angelic one. People tend to think it's slimy, and ugly. They view this animal as a symbol of evil but don't understand the role model it actually is to us humans. Yes, that right. Don't scowl at the idea, instead let me explain this concept. I know, at least once, you've met a person whom you thought to be a "snake." Someone most likely with the characteristics of cleverly deciding and patiently waiting for the right moment to attack in some form. Although this characteristics are not easy on the ears at first, I personally don't think it's such a bad thing to have them. I strongly believe the snake is worthy of being imitated by humans for multiple reasons. We need to be more clever like a snake. When we encounter problems, stress or ignorance are usually the drivers behind the wheel of the car that is our decision. Let's take those eradicable drivers and replace them with a snake, who will drive intelligently and cleverly. Meaning, we pick the most beneficial option available during a problem instead of the one we would like to choose. We make the smart investment instead of the pointless spending. We swallow our pride instead of insulting others when they insult us. Meaning, we decide to keep ourselves and our power. Patience, should also be aimed to be duplicated. Patience will tell us exactly when to extend our muscles and inject our fangs into our prey, whether to act or not. Patience is a snake's most appreciated sentinel that watches for possible slip ups like ruining your internship with that highly successful entrepreneur because you called him before he could call you to tell you your patience made you stand out from the crowd, or deciding to attend a University that you didn't want to only to find out your letter of acceptance to your number one choice University was received one day after it was too late to change. Our own success can only be reached if we wait to grab it at the right time; not too early, not to late. I believe everything under the sun is perfectly made and the snake with killer qualities is perfectly balanced, as we should be too. If we ever master patience and cleverness, we can not used them for evil intentions. Believe it or not, the snake does a good job following this rule. A snake does not go around killing people because they can or because they don't like someone, as humans would. A balance is needed. Imagine how powerful if we imitated the qualities of the snake. Tell me, what can't you can reach with cleverness, patience, and balance?
