SUCCESS IS EARNED BY THOSE WHO ARE CONSISTENT.
YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE BORING DAYS, EVEN TO THE EXTENT OF BEING ON AUTO-PILOT TO YOUR GOALS.
REMEMBER THE STORY OF
THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE*?
YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE DAYS, OR EVEN WEEKS;
OF DISTRACTION.
YOU’VE GOT TO BE RELENTLESSLY CONSISTENT
IN YOUR “TEMPO”
TOWARDS YOUR GOALS.
TO ACHIEVE THEM.

NOTES:
*The Aesop Fable of the Hare and the Tortoise is a classic tale about a fast hare who mocks a slow tortoise and challenges him to a race.
- A proud hare laughed at the tortoise for walking very slowly.
- Tired of the teasing, the tortoise challenged the hare to a running race.
- All the forest animals gathered to watch the start line.
- The hare dashed ahead and quickly gained a massive lead.
The Nap and the Finish
- Confident of an easy win, the hare decided to take a nap mid-way.
- The tortoise kept a slow and steady pace, walking past the sleeping hare.
- The hare woke up too late and saw the tortoise cross the finish line.
Moral of the Story
- Slow and steady wins the race.
- Consistency and hard work beat pride and laziness.
