Thinking about how a big goal can be reached one small step at a time.
Considering how trying again after a setback is a kind of bravery.
A speedy snail named Turbo is racing in the Indy 500 and is close to the finish line. Another racer, Guy Gagné, crashes into Turbo and cracks his shell, which makes him lose his super speed. Turbo feels discouraged and tucks into his shell near the finish line. His brother Chet rushes over and tells him not to give up. Turbo starts crawling forward and rolls across the finish line to win the race.
