Once upon a time there was a hare
called Mukesh and a tortoise called Nilesh. One day when both of them were
drinking at a bar, Mukesh mocked Nilesh that he was so slow that he would never
manage to get anywhere in life. Nilesh sipped his whisky slowly looked at
Mukesh calmly and just chuckled disdainfully.
"I would go farther than you
for sure!" he said.
Mukesh got furious. "Look
at you!” he said." "I
challenge you. By the time you can put your glass to your lips, I would run to
the bardoor and back here."
Tortoise looked to the bardoor and said
"huh... Kids race to the bar door. If you have the balls, try and race me
in a real race!"
Mukesh thought it was a joke so
he laughed his heart out. But Nilesh kept looking at him calmly. When Mukesh
realised that Nilesh wasn't joking, he said... "You are serious?"
"Race of a life time"
Nilesh said calmly. Mukesh said "Challenge accepted!!" "What
would be the finsih line" asked Nilesh "You choose" Mukesh
said.
Nilesh set the finish line14
years away. Mukesh died after 13 years. about a hundred years later Nilesh
walked by the stone where Mukesh was buried. He took one step ahead of
it. and said with a soft chuckle...
"Look Mukesh, I won!"
Moral: When you can choose your
race, choose to your strengths.
