It takes more than speed to get to the finish line.

When i was growing up, i was told the story " The race between the tortoise and the rabbit", i know many are familiar with the story. It goes thus, one day, the rabbit and it's friend,tortoise decided to have a race to see  who run's the fastest. The race began with the rabbit speeding off, on getting close to the finish line, he turned back to see how far the tortoise has gone and he observed that the tortoise was very far behind. So he went for a short nap. The tortoise running slow and focused on the race got to the finish line. Before the rabbit could catch up with the tortoise, it was too late.Many times, in living our lives, we allow the lifestyle of others dictate how we ought to live. Humans are never the same, God has blessed us with different features, skills and talents. All these makes us unique, but it is sad that, most people would rather be like others than themselves. Just like the story above, would you rather be fast and unfocused as the rabbit or be slow and focused as the tortoise. Speed doesn't necessarily mean you will get to the finish line, because you can tripp off, get badly injured and that might be the end of the race. This also applies to issues relating to marriage, child bearing, child raising, career,e.t.c. This reminds me of when i tried to get into the university, it took me two years to get admitted and by then, most of my mates at high school were in their third year already. But the truth is that not all graduated and some others had an extra year or two. The point i am driving at is that, do not belittle others for what so ever reason because we all have elements of seeds in us, we can grow.
