THE RABBIT AND THE TORTOISE

Opssss or was it THE TORTOISE AND THE RABBIT ?

Remember the well known story on the race between tortoise and rabbit?

The story hasn't ended there after the tortoise won the race.


Rabbit went back home and did a post-event cause analysis of her losing, and found out that she's over-confidence, complacency and lax are the keys to the problem.


Knowing now how to win, she challenged the tortoise again. One... Two... Three!


This time, rabbit ran all the way non-stop. She won the tortoise by several miles.
But the story didn't end here as well. The tortoise did some thinking this time, and realised that he could never beat the rabbit in a race the way it was currently formatted.

'This time let's do another route,' tortoise suggested.

The rabbit agreed.

The race started. Same as before, rabbit ran all the way non-stop until she reached a broad river. The finishing line was just a few steps away on the other side of the river.

Rabbit sat there wondering what to do. In the meantime tortoise trundled along, met the rabbit, swam across the river, continued walking and won the race.

The story still hasn't ended here. :)

Rabbit and tortoise, by this time, had become friends and together they figured out the last race could have been run much better. So they started off again. This time rabbit carried tortoise till the riverbank.

There, the tortoise took over and swam across with rabbit on his back.

Then again rabbit carried tortoise until they both reached the finishing line together. They both felt a greater sense of success and satisfaction than they felt earlier.


Striving not just the excellence of what you can see now, in the limited boundary it was being defined. But striving for excellence of what you possibly can, or even what you haven't been thinking of.
