What's the moral of that story? Don't go to sleep a few meters from the end of the race just because you're miles ahead?

I thought the moral of that story was "slow and steady wins the race". In other words, don't be discouraged at a lack of immediate success. Keep grinding, stick to the plan, one step at a time, don't worry about what other people are doing, etc etc etc.
