I can relate since I sent my age 11 daughter to collect checks from clients, deposit them and return home with the required cash. In her Financial career ... One of her responsibilities was finding the best homes for Seagram's cash. So I guess some of it stuck. and now my two cents. Dawn breaks on the Savannas of Africa ..... The lion awakes, stretches and growls. In a nearby thicket a Gazelle sniffs the wind as she awakens. The Lion knows he must run faster than the slowest Gazelle or he'll starve The Gazelle knows she must run faster than fastest Lion or she'll be killed. In business ..... Whether we're a Lion or a Gazelle. ..... When the sun comes up we'd better hit the ground running. "Each indecision brings its own delays and days are lost lamenting over lost days… What you can do or think you can do, begin it. For boldness has magic, power, and genius in it.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 1749-1832, Poet, Novelist and Scientist Bestest. Teddy. Thanks Peter for sharing your daughter’s accomplishments.

The Lion knows he must run faster than the slowest Gazelle or he’ll starve

The Gazelle knows she must run faster than fastest Lion or she’ll be killed.

In business ….. Whether we’re a Lion or a Gazelle. ….. When the sun comes up we’d better hit the ground running.

But you're right, slow and steady wins the race... unless if it's a real race, going slow will ensure that you'll lose. Good thing life is not a race.

"...In life you come into certain situations where you just feel like you’re the tortoise in the race of life. It feels as if everyone else is racing ahead of you. "They" have the house, the cars, the new clothes, the list just seems to be endless. It’s in these moments where you feel like hiding in your little warm tortoise shell. But I’ve come to realise that I should never let a tortoise shell get in the way of my greatest potential. You never know where the next race in life may take you…" Thanks Peter for your inspiration.
