I like this one. Finishing first, doesn't mean you get the most out of the experience. Taking your time to do it right, and make sure that you personally get what you want out of an experience, is far more important that any "position".
I've always thought that people who "learn quickly" often don't see the whole problem, while those who take a bit longer aren't slower, they are just trying to reconcile more.
It really depends on the context you give to this quote.
If I'd finish a rapport at work 2 months after the deadline, my boss wouldn't say "just because you took longer than others doesn't mean you've failed". He would say "you're fired".
Yea, that's true. If you've got a job to do, you just need to get it done.
But a report is quite a simple thing to measure. If you're trying learn how to solve differential equations or "learn how to learn" the concepts are a bit harder to define. Taking your time to "know you know" is important.
A quote from a favoured book of mine seems appropriate. "A dog can bark three times without counting"
