“EVERY MORNING IN AFRICA”
By Edwin Rubis
“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle awakens. He has one thought on his mind: to be able to run faster than the fastest lion. If he cannot, then he will be eaten. Every morning in Africa a lion awakens. He has only one thought on his mind: to be able to run faster than the slowest gazelle. If he cannot, he will die of hunger. Whether you choose to be a gazelle or a lion is of no consequence. It is enough to know that with the rising of the sun, you must run. And you must run faster than you did yesterday or you will die. This is the race of life.” [from an African proverb]
