Run gazelle run

A long forgotten old jungle saying, posted on facebook by my very good friend Sachin R from XL - 

"Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must move faster than the fastest lion or it will not survive. Every morning a lion wakes up and it knows it must move faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter if you are the lion or the gazelle, when the sun comes up, you better be running." - Roger Bannister "

 and his even better description of it. Can't but admire the wisdom in it.

"It captures the essence of a lot of eastern philosophy 1) It is ur duty to run so run. 2) No matter how big, fast or strong u r, u will still have to run (ie even if u win today's rat race , u r still a rat); unless and untill u achieve Nirvana and hence get freedom from the cycle of rat races 3) No matter how much u enjoy running and not matter how free or powerful u feel while running, its all an illusion" - Sachin R
