Instead puts forth a great truth. Starting something with great vigor and overexertion easily fatigues people. Then naturally he is forced to sleep. But a person who works methodically and regularly for a fixed number of hours every day stands a good chance not to get tired and take his battle for the long haul and succeed in the end. Those who are fast generally fail to consist. Anything and everything which are worthwhile and of value in this world are built of the effort of a long time. That illustrate this great truth.

Glad to know that we met at the HYSEA event. Both of you seem to find a good angle to the story and are happy with it. So, first I want to congratulate you for that. Every story has meaning based on the listener. In both of your cases, you have found scenarios where this will make sense. If you have the discipline to look at every story in the same set of eyes and not carried away by what the "marketplace" is determining about a story, it's a fantastic achievement! Best, Raj Jai, thanks for your inputs

Here tortoise has it's limitation, it cannot run. So still it challenged. That means if one person is slow or physically challenged, it doesn't mean that he cannot compete. There are many physically challenged people who achieved many things in their life. This story encourages for them. Also if one is very slow because of various reason, may be from birth, he can evaluate and take calculated risks in his / her life. Person, who run faster will anyway run faster, but this person must be having some constraints / weakness. This is an opportunity for slow running person. It is very natural, person who does the things faster always think less. Person who does things slower always (most of the intelligent people) think more / faster. It is thinking process which is more important in achieving. So this story gives very good moral for those are slow by birth / physical challenged. Recently I attended your seminar organized by HYSEA at hyderabad, got inspired and reading your blogs. Hi Rajesh,

I believe all of us are in a race that never ends, so tortoise never wins ... The moral accordint to me is make right, optimum and timely use of its resources, else anyone can overcome you. The rabbit didnt make best use of its resources so it was overcome by a slow tortoise. My opinion is the story is still relevant but the moral needs to be tailored to the existing times. Look at the story from the rabbit's point of view.
