“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'd better be running.”
African Proverb as related by Thomas Friedman
Stop trying to understand all the horrors in the economic landscape. When you wake up, start running, you are a lion! Tomorrow wake up, start running, you are a lion!
