Are we all being controlled by our desire for money?
A couple of months ago, my friend Rita asked me a question: If you didn’t have to worry about money or job security, what would you do with your life? This made me curious about whether anyone would even be doing conventional 9-5 jobs on a full-time basis if they didn’t have to worry about money or job security.

In its traditional form, the story of the tortoise and the hare is used to teach a lesson such as ‘slow and steady wins the race’ (even though I don’t believe that this statement is always true). However, I stumbled upon the picture below while I was scrolling through Instagram, and I found the twist on the traditional tortoise and hare depiction quite interesting.
