The World is Flat : Thomas Friedman

Chapter Two : The Ten Forces That Flattened the World

gazelles & lions


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 better start running.

Keep running; don't get left behind in the Global Economy. If the world is going to continue to become flat, the lion needs to catch up to the gazelle, instead of just progressing farther and farther ahead.
