Right from childhood, I have been listening to the Hare-Tortoise story and telling myself that focus is important. But somehow, this story didn’t appeal to me! It appeared to be the most misdirected story I have ever heard. This is imparting the wrong morale in kids. This in no way speaks about focus; rather, it speaks about irrational comparison, which is imparting a wrong thought seed in kids’ minds!
You are comparing two different creatures living in different conditions, so we can’t compare both to derive some story for our benefit. When I remember this story, I recall an Albert Einstein statement-” Everyone is a genius. But if you compare a fish by its ability to climb a tree like some other animal that can climb. It will live its whole life as incapable”
