Bullshit 1 | Slow & steady wins the race!

It was 2009, I was in  my 8th grade attending lecture on algebra. Our teacher gave us a problem to solve.We all started drilling our memory lanes to recall on which theorem we can solve it. I tried a lot but had little success! Mam walked up to me and said "It's simple! assume the left hand side as this..." and she scribbled something on my book which I no longer remember as my attention was on the phrase she said "Its simple! Assume.."

Just a few months ago I met my young cousin, she is in kindergarten.I jokingly asked her if she knows a poem? She nodded & started singing poem on a fat teapot! I was impressed by the way she sang! Satisfied with impressing me;she asked if I knew the story of bunny and tortoise? I lied and said No! would you love to tell me? I asked; she happily nodded!

She began the bunny & tortoise story which we have been reading since ages! Even my grandparents used to tell me this story who themselves had heard from their parents as if its one of the most important stories of our lifetime passing through generations & generations!

She kept on speaking & explaining me the story with her best efforts.Suddenly I couldn't hear her as if she was speaking in a mute mode! My brain was thinking something after it heard something. My neurons were charged up as if something had stroke me!

The phrase was "The bunny went to sleep.." What? that's it? Yeah,No! #ItsDeep think on this! Connect that algebra lecture day of 2009 to 2017.

Assumption

What we have been taught as the moral is "Slow and steady wins the race!" but in reality in a very much indirect way we are taught to assume that our competitor is going to be asleep!

Why will our competitor be asleep and let us win? will you sleep if you were in the position of the bunny had I told you the winner gets 100 Gold Coins? No! then why we are being taught this lesson when we are young? The lesson which is going to be proved wrong when we grow older, we all are going to understand that "Fast & Steady wins the race!" 

Our competitors are not going to fall asleep, they are going to keep on enhancing themselves each day and they will make you go to sleep if you do not wake up and fight for your goals!

This was Bullshit 1
