“Every morning in Africa, a deer wakes up, it knows it must run faster than a lion or it will be killed…every morning a lion wakes up; it knows it must run faster than a deer or else it will starve to death. It does not matter whether you are a lion or a deer…when sun comes up, you better be running…physically or mentally or both to catch up with time”.

It means that after every fall there is a new determination

to get up again and to keep climbing”.
