Everybody's heard of the parable of the story of the tortoise and the hare. The moral of the story teaches us not to be lazy, complacent and over-confident (what we learn from the Hare).
What then do we learn from the tortoise? We learn that one has to be hardworking and persistent.
This was the morals that we were all told right? Well, what if I told you that there is more to this parable than we normally see?
'What is it?' you may ask.
Most people fail to see one more moral from this parable.
That is, 'The Tortoise did not 'THINK TOO MUCH'and 'GIVE IT A GO' and tried to compete with the Hare'.
The tortoise himself knew that he would never have a chance to win the hare in the race were they to actually compete. But the tortoise decide, 'If I don't try, I would never know!'
So, learn from the tortoise, don't think too much; just go ahead and try, if you didn't even try, how would you ever know that you could not do it?
Action does not only speak louder than words, it speaks louder than thoughts too!
Are you better than a tortoise? Ponder...
