The Essence to Survival

“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the lion or it will be killed…. every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle…when the sun comes up, you’d better be running.”
