Every morning when I wake up… First things first… I will head over to my PC to check my emails and read the news.

Today, I was greeted by this quote. “EVERY MORNING IN AFRICA, A GAZELLE WAKES UP. IT KNOWS THAT IT MUST RUN FASTER THAN THE FASTEST LION, OR IT WILL BE KILLED. EVERY MORNING IN AFRICA, A LION WAKES UP. IT KNOWS THAT IT MUST OUTRUN THE SLOWEST GAZELLE, OR IT WILL STARVE TO DEATH. IT DOESN’T MATTER WHETHER YOU’RE A LION OR A GAZELLE, WHEN THE SUN COMES IN THE MORNING, YOU’D BETTER BE RUNNING!” Written on a personal computer by a man named Ed, who was dying of Lou Gehrig’s disease. Paralyzed, he could operate his computer only by blinking his eyes

It shook me up.

Better be Running… in business, every minute you stop, your competitor is but another minute closer.
