"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" [African proverb]
