The woods are lovely dark and deep, but I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep. Robert Frost

The Lion Fight

"Every race is like a lion fight. So chin up, put your shoulders back, walk proud, and strut a little. Don't lick your wounds. Celebrate them. The scars you bear are the sign of a competitior. Your are in a lion fight and just because you didn't win doesn't mean you don't know how to roar"

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.

The moral:
It doesn't matter if you are a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you better be running.
