Sailing over rowing

Two men once needed to cross a vast sea.

One asked: “Better to row or sail?”

The elder replied: “Rowing will be quicker at first. But ultimately, if we can align ourselves with the winds and currents, sailing will be faster and more enjoyable.”

Don’t confuse motion with progress. You can have high speeds but low velocities.
