An African Proverb

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 in Africa, a lion wakes up
It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.

It doesn't matter if you are the lion or the gazelle.
When the sun comes up, you better start running.

- An African proverb.
