The document recounts multiple lessons learned from variations on the fable of the tortoise and the hare racing. It summarizes the original story where the tortoise wins through slow and steady pace. A rematch has the hare win by learning and not being overconfident. Another race adds an obstacle of a river, which the tortoise wins by having the core competence of swimming. Finally, working as a team by taking turns carrying each other, the hare and tortoise together beat the horse in a race, demonstrating that smart thinking and teamwork can win.
