Day 132 of wisdom
“You adapt, evolve, compete or die.”
Paul Tudor Jones
Christopher McDougall who made the story of the Lion and the Gazelle popular said that, “every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, it knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're the lion or a gazelle - when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.”
One cannot survive life, nor be successful if one does not evolve with the happenings around. Situation changes, things happen, so must one adapt to changes, evolve with time, and compete for what is rightfully yours or be left behind. Life is not a competition, but if you don't compete you may die, you may be put out of business, you may be relegated to the bottom, you must be forgotten.
If you must stay relevant in a world that is constantly evolving, you must make deliberate efforts to become better than you were yesterday, you are your own biggest competition, you must strive to better the you of yesterday, or you will be in your past while others are moving forward. Just like Christopher McDougall suggested, “... whether you're the lion or a gazelle - when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.”
Every new day demands a better version of you, every new level demands that you step up your game, because that is the only way winning can be assured. You must learn to adapt to changes, evolve with the times, and compete for your place, or else you will be deprived of what is rightfully yours.
