Aesop's The Tortoise and the Hare
Once upon a time, there was a hare who, boasting that he could run faster than anyone else, was forever teasing tortoise about his slowness. Then one day, the irate tortoise accepted the challenge when the hare boasted that "there was no one in the world who could beat him in a race."
The next day the race began, and the hare yawned sleepily as the meek tortoise trudged slowly off. When the hare saw how painfully slow his rival was, he decided, half-asleep on his feet, to have breakfast and a quick nap. "Take your time!" he said. "I'll have forty winks and catch up with you in a minute."
The sun started to sink below the horizon. The tortoise, who had been plodding towards the winning post since morning, was less than a yard away from the finish when the hare awoke with a jolt. Away he dashed! Though he leapt and bounded with great effort and speed toward the finish line, he was too late. The tortoise had beaten him. Tired and in disgrace, he slumped down beside the tortoise who said, with a knowing smile, "Slowly does it every time!"

Electrical Safety Rogue Traders.There are many companies out there who do not carry out the testing correctly. They do not check the plugs or fuse ratings for appliances. All standard plug tops should be checked to ensure they are wired correctly, the terminals are secure, the fuse rating is correct and the general condition is ok.

When it comes to personality profiling, the human development industry has countless tests and assessments from which to choose. These instruments may differ greatly on the surface - in the number and names of the archetypes each model advocates and the method through which a person's type is determined. But at their core, they are all attempting to accomplish the same objective: divide humanity into a manageable number of types and describe each type as a set of distinct and demonstrable characteristics.

From the very start of this fable, it seems absurd that the slow, prodigious tortoise would even consider pitting himself against the swift and built-for-speed hare. Though everyone can appreciate the tortoise's desire to quiet the hare's bragging and silence his teasing, to the tortoise, the race was never about speed or silencing a bully. It was about following through on his word. It was walking the talk, doing what he said he would do--something the hare never saw coming. The tortoise was all about the long game while the hare was about the short. Both approaches are important for a successful small business start up.
