The Tortoise and the Hare

The Tortoise and the Hare is a fable illustrating that steady, persistent effort often leads to success over overconfidence and haste. The Hare, confident in its speed, mocks the slow-moving Tortoise and takes a nap during a race. Meanwhile, the Tortoise keeps moving steadily without stopping. When the Hare wakes up, the Tortoise is near the finish line, winning the race. The story emphasizes that consistency, determination, and humility can outperform talent or arrogance, encouraging patience and steady progress toward goals.
