THE ESSENCE OF SURVIVAL

I’ve long admired those framed motivational posters I see in many offices. Here’s the one about survival.

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.

THE ESSENCE OF OUR DESTINY

I’ve long admired those framed motivational posters I see in many offices. Here’s the one about destiny.

Watch your thoughts, for they become words.

Choose your words, for they become actions.

Understand your actions, for they become habits.

Study your habits, for they will become your character.

Develop your character, for it becomes your destiny.
