An African Proverb

Filed under: Food for Thought

A very interesting African Proverb that i read in "The World is Flat" by Thomas Friedman…gr8 book and a must read for all those who want to know how quickly the world is changing and howz technology changing our lives.

Here’s the 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 a lion wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle.
When the sun comes up, you better start running.
