"いつも速い者が勝つとは限らず 常に強い者が勝つとも限らないが それが賭けの常識だ"

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes the fastest and the strongest do not always win, but people usually expect them to. Imagine a marathon race; everyone thinks the fastest runner will win. But sometimes, someone who is not the fastest surprises everyone and wins because they had better strategy or more determination. People generally place their bets on those they think have the best chances based on obvious strengths, like speed or power. In life, we often prepare for or support what looks most promising or powerful. However, we must remember that outcomes can be unpredictable. Success might come to those with other qualities like perseverance, cleverness, or just plain luck. So, it’s a good idea to be flexible and open-minded about who or what might succeed.
