Good old lessons in teamwork from an age-old fable

The TortoiseAnd

The Hare

Once upon a time a tortoise and a hare had an argument about who was faster.

I’m the fastestrunner.

That’s not true.The fastest runner isme!

The hare was disappointed at losing the race and he did some soul-searching. He realized that he'd lost the race only because he had been overconfident, careless and lax. If he had not taken things for granted, there's no way the tortoise could have beaten him.

Why did I lose the

race?

Can we have another race?

Ok.

So he challenged the tortoise to another race. The tortoise agreed.

This time, the hare went all out and ran without stopping from start to finish. He won by several miles.

The moral of the story?

Fast and consistent will always beat the slow and steady. It's good to be slow and steady; but it's better to be fast and reliable.

Professor fills empty jar with golf balls. And everyone thinks it is full.

Then Professor puts pebbles in the jar which fills up the remaining space. And everyone thinks it is full.

Then Professor puts sands in the jar which fills up the remaining space. And everyone thinks it is full.Then Professor puts water in the jar which fills up the remaining space.

Golf-ball theory

The golf balls are the important things:

Our efforts for everlasting happiness,

Our spiritual, emotional, mental and physical health,

Our family, our partner, our children, our friends,

Things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, our life would still be full

The sand is everything else - the small stuff like:

Spending valuable time for

Small material gains (penny pinching, etc.),

Gossiping, In selfish activities,

In fear, lying, expectations

Having excuses, jealousy,

Hatred, revenge, anger, ego, deceit, greed, etc

What does the water represent?

Water shows us that no matter how full our life may seem:

There's always time to help others,

Make others happy,

Share our knowledge,

Do charity work
