The tortoise and the hare: The hare lost to the tortoise.

The tortoise and the hare race. Everyone watching laughed, because the tortoise was so slow, how could it possibly win against the hare? The hare's speed was far beyond what the tortoise could ever reach. The same thought occurred to the hare itself, and it's natural advantage is agility, it can quickly reach the destination.

The tortoise didn't know it had no advantage, but that didn't affect its diligent efforts. It believed that only by diligently doing a thing, one could be at peace with oneself, and that was success. It didn’t want to win against the hare, but its persistent diligence won it the race.

In the fable of 'The Tortoise and the Hare', embedded is a truth: no matter how much talent you have, if you don't take it seriously, you will always be defeated by a diligent opponent. Diligence is the quality that helps us reach the finish line.

Tortoise and the hareIn this impatient era, everyone laughs when they hear ‘diligent’. Life is like a play, so why be so serious? Relax and let it go, right? But there is one person who disagrees with this view, that's the protagonist of the movie ‘Forgetting Sonatas’, Yamen. Yamen is very diligent in his name, and his life attitude is extremely diligent, he doesn't make jokes, he does things step by step, he is an outlier among colleagues. Colleagues don't like him, they think they are just people who get paid, why bother? Yamen and Mr. Smith ‘Forgetting Sonatas’

Yamen, a bank employee, found that a customer's loan application was rejected because of insufficient documents, so he didn't approve it. When the manager scolded him for being unwilling to change, they could have approved the loan and waited for the customer to fill in the missing documents. But in Yamen's eyes, this was unacceptable. Rules are rules, if the conditions are not met, the application cannot be approved. The manager realized that he had scolded Yamen, but he was still ‘stubborn’, and he felt a sense of grievance.

Banks are places where property gathers, and security must be done well, so the police required Yamen’s bank to conduct a simulated robbery exercise. In many people’s minds, it’s just a passing event, so it doesn’t matter if it’s done or not.

Fake robbery Yamen ‘Forgetting Sonatas’

Yamen received the opportunity to conduct a fake robbery exercise. From the day he received the task, he began to prepare in detail, even thinking about Plan A and Plan B. He wanted to be a real robber and find a way out of the bank without being caught. He wanted to let the police catch himself.

Before the simulation, Yamen ran to improve his escape speed, and together with his sister, they thought about the escape routes to avoid the police's capture.

On the day of the simulation, the manager allowed Yamen to play a small role, and other police officers also thought so. But Yamen really put himself in the role of a robber, and he fiercely fought with the police.

Yamen and the police played a cat and mouse game, repeatedly killing and solving people, and he skillfully disrupted the police's attention, giving himself time. Many police officers were surprised, thinking that the bank’s employee was too diligent, but the police chief thought that Yamen’s simulated robber was realistic, comparable to a real robber, and he did everything he wanted to do, making the police helpless. Fortunately, it was just a simulation, if the bank really suffered such a ruthless attack, how would the police deal with it to save the hostages and solve the robbers?

The manager was furious when he saw Yamen’s excessive diligence, he rushed into the simulation scene, trying to stop Yamen from continuing, but Yamen didn’t listen to him, he believed that the simulation hadn’t ended because he hadn’t won, and the police hadn’t done their best.

Yamen’s idea received the full support of the police chief. Finally, the fake robber Yamen won against the police.

Most of the time, when facing tasks, people say, ‘Just do it casually.’ But this is not the correct attitude of life.

If you are careless like the hare in ‘The Tortoise and the Hare’, you will easily give up the opportunity to win, to a diligent opponent. Diligence is the quality that helps us reach the finish line.

Diligence has become a forgotten word, and the spirit of diligence has gradually become rare.

Everyone is becoming less diligent, in the outside world, we advocate queuing to take public transportation, but many people don't do it seriously, they like to queue up to disrupt the order.

Diligence is the fundamental basis for the smooth operation of society, and a careless attitude will lead to disastrous consequences.

03 The attitude of the game hides a component of diligence

In the Japanese drama ‘Forgetful Sonatas’, the female protagonist, Summer Ito, is a very diligent student. She is diligent in her studies, but she is still unable to find a work internship unit in her fourth year of university, and she is very frustrated. During a presentation by Mr. Nishida, she accurately said all the information about Mr. Nishida's IT company, which shows that she is a diligent and hardworking student.

Later, Mr. Nishida needed an employee to participate in negotiations, and because the project leader was a very diligent woman, Mr. Nishida wanted to find an employee who was similar in personality to this woman, so he thought of Summer Ito, and he gave her some information.

After Summer Ito received the information, she studied it meticulously, and she successfully impressed the project leader during the negotiation. She appreciated hardworking and diligent people.Summer Ito and Mr. Nishida ‘Forgetful Sonatas’

Mr. Nishida is the Japanese version of ‘Steve Jobs’. He only graduated from junior high school, but he was flexible and smart, and he founded an IT company with his friend. He served as the company president, but he hated rigid and serious people, he thought they didn't understand change, and from this project, diligence and seriousness were important.

Mr. Nishida hated those who didn’t understand change, but in fact, he wasn’t indifferent, but diligent in the areas he was interested in. If it weren’t for his diligence and seriousness, he wouldn’t have become the Japanese ‘Steve Jobs’.

Yamen ‘Forgetting Sonatas’

In conclusion: Diligence is a part of the craftsman spirit. Only through diligence and seriousness can we produce excellent products and do things well. Just like writer Liang Wen Dao said in his program ‘Eight Parts’, ‘It doesn’t guarantee success, and it may not be useful.’ The spirit of diligence is the same. It doesn't matter if you don’t succeed, and it doesn’t matter if it’s not useful, but this spirit can light up a person’s life. It doesn't allow the external environment to influence it, just like the protagonist of ‘Forgetting Sonatas’, Yamen, insists on doing what he thinks is best, diligence and seriousness, and then he becomes a winner in life.
