Once upon a time a tortoise and a hare had an argument about who was faster. They decided to settle the argument with a race. They agreed on a route and started off the race.

The hare shot ahead and ran briskly for some time. Then seeing that he was far ahead of the tortoise, he thought he'd sit under a tree for some time and relax before continuing the race.
兔子带头冲出,奔驰了一阵子,眼看它已遥遥领先乌龟,心想,可以在树下坐一会儿,放松一下,然后再继续比赛。

He sat under the tree and soon fell asleep. The tortoise plodding on overtook him and soon finished the race, emerging as the undisputed champ.

The hare woke up and realised that he'd lost the race. The moral of the story is that slow and steady wins the race.
等兔子一觉醒来,才发觉它输了!
这个故事给我们的启示是:缓慢且持续的人会赢得比赛。

The hare was disappointed at losing the race and he did some Defect Prevention (Root Cause Analysis). He realised that he'd lost the race only because he had been overconfident, careless and lax.
兔子当然因输了比赛而倍感失望,为此做了些缺失预防工作(根本原因解析)。很清楚,失败是因太有信心,大意,以及散漫。

If he had not taken things for granted, there's no way the tortoise could have beaten him. So he challenged the tortoise to another race. The tortoise agreed.
如果我不要自认一切都是理所当然的,乌龟是不可能打败我的。因此,它再挑战乌龟再来另一场比赛,而乌龟也同意。

This time, the hare went all out and ran without stopping from start to finish. He won by several miles.
这次,兔子全力以赴,从头到尾,一口气跑完,领先乌龟好几公里。赢得了冠军!
