Every morning in Africa

Here’s a very inspiring quote. I first came across it in Thomas Friedman’s The World Is Flat, a must read for those interested in Globalization and International Economics.

 

Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the lion or it will not survive. Every morning a lion wakes up and it knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter if you are the lion or the gazelle, when the sun comes up, you better be running.
