# Perseverance

**Gist.** The slow but steady reach the goal sooner than the careless.

**Conditions and exceptions.** Rest after reaching the goal is not a violation. Judgment is by the state of the world: between setting the goal and reaching it there are no "rest" actions (sleep, napping, lying down); a rival with the same goal had them and did not reach it.

**Examples.** The Hare and the Tortoise (Aesop): the tortoise goes "slowly but steadily", the hare sleeps — the tortoise wins.

**Sources.** Aesop's fables; Gal 6:9. Draft proposed by the LLM.
