This piece is about patience. I think about the story of the tortoise and the heir a lot the book but more often the looney toons version. I just remember the haste and all the different things the heir was doing to win or just being cocky in some stories. The tortoise was consistent and patient with himself and his efforts. His ability (to me) was maximized because he understood his limitations and made the best of what he had. I feel like with that patience life pays you with with abundance.
