I’m sure most would agree that nothing great comes easy and without a consistent effort. And just like in the old children’s story of the tortoise and the hare, if you “take a nap” at a critical time during the strive to success then you run the risk of losing out on an easy win. Hard work will get you results and most good things take time.

“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.”— Confucius

However, let’s be honest. If the hare wouldn’t have fallen asleep from being overly confident in its speed then the tortoise would have never won the race no matter how slow or steady it moved. In fact, if the hare would have showed humility then the race may have never even happened. This I feel is an equally important lesson from the story — remain humble.

But why shouldn’t the hare brag about its speed? The hare takes pride in letting others know how fast it is, and this is where the problem lies. When one does things for the approval of others then it can genuinely take away from the great act itself. Humility shows self-respect and in return helps gain the respect from others around us knowing that our actions were performed for the right reason.

When Satoshi successfully created Bitcoin he was humble. He did not brag. And he did it for the right reasons. This exact thing is what the crypto space needs more of and what #WWSS and ECC are aiming to convey.
