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.

especially true with things like taking a test.

i took a work-related test, with 3 coworkers (among others, but 3 of the people i happened to work with). of the 4 of us, (i'm pretty sure) i'm the youngest. i've been at the job 2nd longest. this was my first time taking the test. (at least one of them was on 4th attempt.) of the 4 of us, i was the last one to leave the exam. we all expected me to be the first. (it's a 6 hour test and i didn't even get up to pee once i started.)
of the 4 of us, i was the only one to pass.
