The tortoise and the hare

There once was a speedy hare who bragged about how fast he could run. Tired of hearing him boast, Slow and Steady, the tortoise, challenged him to a race. All the animals in the forest gathered to watch.

Hare ran down the road for a while and then and paused to rest. He looked back at Slow and Steady and cried out, "How do you expect to win this race when you are walking along at your slow, slow pace?"

Hare stretched himself out alongside the road and fell asleep, thinking, "There is plenty of time to relax."

Slow and Steady walked and walked. He never, ever stopped until he came to the finish line.

The animals who were watching cheered so loudly for Tortoise, they woke up Hare.

Hare stretched and yawned and began to run again, but it was too late. Tortoise was over the line.

After that, Hare always reminded himself, "Don't brag about your lightning pace, for Slow and Steady won the race!"

====================
I am telling this story to remind myself not to repeat the hare's mistake. Previously, I was like the hare. I always saw the finish line earlier than others but didn't manage to win at last. Why? I was too complacent! My greatest weakness. Now, time to change, Vicky Wong!! You have a very good start. Don't waste it. Work harder, run faster towards the finish line. Win the race. You have lost too many times which you are not supposed to! Now, prove yourself to those who think you can and to those who think you can't! More importantly, prove to yourself.
