You better start running

I heard this quote last night and it kind of stuck with me, so I wanted to share it.

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up and knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up and knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle; when the sun comes up, you better start running.

Best I can tell, it was first quoted by Herb Caen, but I could be wrong.  If you know different, please share.
