In real life, it is the hare who wins. Every time. Look around you. And in any case it is my contention that Aesop was writing for the tortoise market. Hares have no time to read. They are too busy winning the game.

Summary

This quote suggests that in real life situations, it is often the fast-paced and quick-thinking individuals ("the hare") who come out victorious. The statement emphasizes that if we look at the world around us, we'll notice that those who act swiftly and decisively tend to succeed. The quote continues humorously, suggesting that the famous fable of "The Tortoise and the Hare" by Aesop might have been written with the intention of inspiring the slower-paced individuals ("the tortoise") to keep persevering, as hares are too busy focusing on winning to read such stories.
