"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 a lion or a gazelle...
When the sun comes up,
You'd better be running."

Life is too short to sit idly by and wait for the world.
Get on your horse, slide on those shoes, go forth and go boldly.
The journey is uncertain, the guarantees are few,
but the rewards are limitless and that experience is what will truly define you.
Sit on the mountain tops, swim in the seas
Touch every corner of the earth
and know you lived filled to the brim leaving no room for doubt and dreams realized.
Onward young soldier,
Onward...
