On your mark………………………

Every morning in Africa, when the sun rises……

A gazelle awakens knowing that it must outrun, the fastest lion or else it will be hunted to death.

But when that same sun rises………..

A lion awakens knowing that it must outrun, the slowest gazelle or else it will starve to death.

At sunrise, tomorrow

Whether you are a gazelle or a lion………

You better be running at your best.

If not, you will be eaten or starve.
