[Poem] 龟兔赛跑 (The Tortoise and Hare Race)

The old fable goes
The tortoise runs slow but far
The hare runs fast but short
Would you rather be the tortoise or the hare?
Which one would get you closer to your goal?
Can I both run fast and far?
Or does longer the time determine how far you can run?
I am not a good runner in real life
I do not have a good stamina
Probably need more rest stops along the way
Rewards like food and encouragement every now and then to give me energy to continue on running
But if these are missing throughout my journey
How can I find strength to keep pushing on
As my breath gets shorter and body weaker?
