The Hare and the Tortoise 落后和失败的根源故事
[font=Times New Roman][size=4]寓言：The Hare and the Tortoise优越的条件，有时反而成为使自己落后和失败的根源。这是一条很普通的辩证法。[/size][/font]
[font=Times New Roman][size=4][/size][/font]
[font=Times New Roman][size=4] A Hare jeered at a Tortoise for the slowness of his pace. But he laughed and said, that he would run against her and beat her any day she would name. "Come on," I said the Hare, "you shall soon see what my feet are made of. "So it was agreed that they should start at once. The Tortoise went off jogging along, without a moment's stopping, at his usual steady pace . The Hare, treating the whole matter very lightly, said she would first take a little nap, and that she should soon overtake the Tortoise. Meanwhile the Tortoise plodded on, and the Hare oversleeping herself, arrived at the goal, only to see that the Tortoise had got in before her.
[font=Times New Roman][size=4]Application: Slow and steady wins the race.
