Cross that bridge when you come to it: Deal with a problem if and when it becomes necessary, not before.

The tortoise beats the hare in a majority of the races...per Br'er Rabbit. In the Br'er Rabbit stories written by Joel Chandler Harris, an American Classic Author who usually writes Childrens' Stories
Steady work beats hotheads who start off fast, goofing around when they believe there is no possible way a critter who moves so slowly could possibly win the race, but the Tortoise goes at its even pace. However, steady wins the race making the Tortoise the continual victor!
