Self-Deception Costs the Race

The Hare laughed at the slow, moving Tortoise and boasted that no one could ever

beat him in a race. Confident of victory, the Hare ran fast and then deceived himself,

believing there was plenty of time. He stopped to rest and soon fell asleep. Meanwhile,

the Tortoise moved slowly but steadily, no tricks, no lies, no shortcuts.

When the Hare finally woke up, the Tortoise was already at the finish line.

Deception doesn’t always mean lying to others, sometimes it’s lying to yourself.

Pride and overconfidence can cause failure, while patience and consistency lead to success.
