独行求速，众行致远。
If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
— African Proverb
【English explanation】
The proverb sets up a clear trade-off: speed versus distance. Going alone means no compromises, no waiting for others, no shared decision-making—you move at your own pace and reach your destination quickly. But that speed comes at a cost. Alone, you carry everything yourself; when you stumble, there is no one to help. Together, progress may be slower because you must coordinate and support each other, but the shared burden makes it possible to cover ground that would exhaust a single traveler. The choice is not which path is better, but which goal matters more: arriving quickly or arriving at all.
【中文解读】
这句谚语揭示了一个清晰的取舍：速度与远方。独行意味着无需妥协、不必等待、不用协商——按自己的节奏前进，自然更快。但速度是有代价的：独自背负一切，跌倒时无人搀扶。结伴而行虽因协调与互助而稍慢，却因分担了重担而能走得更远。这不是在评判哪条路更好，而是在问：你的目标是什么？是追求抵达的速度，还是确保能够抵达。
