Take your time! Honestly, a slow and thorough project will always surpass something quick and dirty. Like the old Hedgehog and the Hare tale!
See, the Hedgehog and the Hare weren't exactly friends. The one was slow, the other fast. So, while sitting around the tavern, the Hare decided to make a quick bet; - If the Hedgehog beat him in a race, then he would get a gold coin and a fifth of whiskey! Same for if the Hare wins, of course. The hedgehog agreed to it, and they signed the deal with a handshake. The next day, both the Hare and the Hedgehog lined up at the start of the race. Pumped and ready to win, the Hare couldn't stay still! Little did he know, Hedgehogs aren't actually that stupid. Before the race started, the Hedgehog had his wife hide in the tall grasses near the finishing line. Then, with the crack of a pistol, the race was on! Off the Hare bounded, like a lightning bolt fired from a cannon. The Hedgehog couldn't even waddle two steps before he decided to quickly dive into the nearby brush. Hearing the Hare nearing the finishing line, the hedgehog's wife quickly saddled up to the finishing line! As the Hare bounded over that line, he couldn't believe his own eyes that the Hedgehog had beaten him! Angrily, he demanded a rematch! And so, the hedgehog's wife and the Hare lined up, and the pistol cracked once more! Bounding like Hermes himself, the Hare set off with a split and a smack. Just like his wife, when the hedgehog heard the Hare saddling up, he quickly scampered to the finishing line to await him. Again, the Hare was met with the horrific sight of the Hedgehog defeating him! Gasping and puffing, the Hare once more demands a rematch, and the hedgehog nods. Thirty races later, the hare finally crossed the finishing line, just to see a hedgehog there, laughing at him. With a final wheeze, the Hare fell down, and died. And that's why we always take the slow route!
