4.Things are changing faster.

“Time is that thing in nature which prevents everything from happening all at once. Lately, it doesn’t seem to be working.”

~ Anonymous

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.


Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.


Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.

It doesn’t matter if you are a lion or a gazelle . . . When the sun comes up, you’d better be running.

“If you have everything under control, you’re not moving fast enough.”

~Mario Andretti
