Persistence Overcomes Talent

Slow and steady wins the race sounds cute until you realize what it actually means.

The tortoise didn't win because he was nice or patient. He won because the hare was a cocky

idiot who fell asleep mid-race. This isn't about being slow. It's about never

stopping. The hare had all the talent in the world, all the speed,

all the gifts. But talent without discipline is just wasted potential. The tortoise had

one thing the hare didn't. A refusal to quit. He didn't care who was faster.

He didn't panic when the hare zoomed past him. He just kept moving. One step at a time.

While everyone else was watching the hare showboat, the tortoise was grinding in silence.
