It really depends upon what goals you have set for yourself and what you want from life. If all you have set for yourself is a certain kind of ranking in your profession, like you want to attain the post of a CEO and the lifestyle that comes attached with it, then you have to keep running. But all you desire for yourself is an honest job, earnings enough to keep you and your family on a full stomach and be able to take vacations occasionally, spend quality time with your family and in general, do everything that you love and want, not what you need, then definitely the slow and steady will win the race.
Because even if in the first example, you become a CEO but have no time to do what you love and want and your life is dictated by needs of your company and your position's responsibilities, will it be a win of any kind?
Life style has changed a lot.This statement is made in earlier days just to make people aware of the fact that steadiness is also needed for the success. But nowadays, if you we are slow we can see lot of people moving ahead of us. So I don't think this is relevant to this modernized world.
For now, it should be "Fast and steady wins the race".
Very much relevant. Even in modern B- Schools vouch for this old proverb. Here slow means not a lazy and leisurely movement. It means a cautious and calculated movement. This attitude always wins the race. And this saying is a time tested formula for success.
Not in all the cases this saying holds true as sometimes we need to be very fast to achieve things. But this is the fact in most of the cases slow and steady always wins the race in life this is what I have always observed in my case.
Well, I guess it depends on situation.. We need to boost up the speed in some cases as going slowly can make situation worse. But yes in some cases slow and steady wins the race for sure.
