The Race of the Turtle and the Hare

Many are familiar with the story and we knew how it ended. But the story had a continuation and that I heard last Thursday from Diamond Danny in our Special meeting for Amway Diamonds.

So in the first race, the turtle won. Why – he persevered till the finish line, the hare was too proud and too sure that he lacked focus on his goal. But because the hare was too proud to accept defeat, he challenged the turtle for another race. Make a guess who won!








The turtle. He was wise, he got a bicycle and rode off. Lesson, if you want to achieve your goal faster, find the right tool.

The hare again, not to be outdone, challenged the turtle for another race. This time, he got a jet propelled car. Can you make a guess who won? Again, the turtle. Why? The hare didn’t know how to drive the car and it went the other way. Lesson, when you have the tool, know how to use it well. Same goes for your business, know your products (attend seminars, ask your upline questions and do your research and most of all get first hand experience by using the product. Then know your marketing plan. Build your confidence by sharing what you know. The more you talk to people, the more you learn to accept rejections and failures, the more you hone your communication skills, and the more you learn the better approach – again a first hand experience.
