Since we all know the story of the rabbit and the tortoise but in case you don't know let me briefly narrate it for you. Once upon a time, there was a rabbit and a tortoise, the rabbit was of course very fast but the tortoise was slow. Everyone in the community always praised the rabbit for his skills and the rabbit always used to humiliate the tortoise. One day rabbit challenged the tortoise for race competition and the tortoise agreed because he didn't want any more humiliation so the race was held after a few days. During the race, the tortoise was very slow but on the other hand, the rabbit was very fast he reached half of the distance within a few minutes but the tortoise was very slow when he arrived the half distance he decided to take some rest. He laid on the ground and took some rest but he accidentally fell asleep. The tortoise was slow but he worked hard and he was about to cross the finish line when the rabbit woke up. When he got to the finish line he was late and the tortoise was celebrating his victory while the rabbit was very sad about his loss. l am sure that after reading the story you might have got the perfect example of how time and tide slip away without waiting for anyone else. So when we have the chance to utilize our time we never should turn back. We should always utilize our time as it is very important for us to achieve success. If we do not utilize the time when we should we will never achieve success in life. So if we are not utilizing our time right now it's high time now that we start utilizing it because Time and Tide wait for none.
