“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster then 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 mater whether you are a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you better start running.”
Jack Perkowski CEO ASIMCO Technologies, African proverb, translated from mandarin written on his factory floor
