The story of the rabbit that got away

A dog chases a rabbit for fun. The rabbit runs for its life. A fable from Aesop on why your performance depends on your motivation.

The story of the rabbit that got away

A dog spotted a rabbit and started chasing him, but the rabbit got away.

Seeing this, a goat stopped to gloat at the dog.

“Too fast for you, wasn’t he?” he sneered.

“Why are you surprised?” said the dog. “I was chasing him for fun; he was running for his life.”

Moral of the story = Your performance depends on your motivation.
