- To plan well for retirement; we have to save regularly to provide more investing capital
- To invest well - We cannot be either The Tortoise Or The Hare. We have to be both Tortoise and Hare at the same time.
- The truth: The Tortoise will never win the Race

- To succeed in investment and grow our wealth, we need to be both the Tortoise and the Hare at the same time. You only have finite time to complete your Race so you need to understand why you can't just be the Tortoise alone.
The moral of the story : Long Term Investment (Tortoise) and Short Term Trading (Hare)
