“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.” ― Christopher McDougall "If you want to become great in any field, you must embrace your savage side and become imbalanced. At least for a period of time. You'll need to funnel every minute of every single day into the pursuit of that degree, that starting spot, that job, that EDGE. Your mind must never leave the cockpit; sleep at the library, or the office. Hoop long past sundown and fall asleep watching film of your next opponent. There are no days off and there is no down time when your obsessed with being great. That is what it takes to be the baddest motherfucker ever at what you do. Know that your dedication will be misunderstood. Some relationships may break down. The savage is not a socialized beast and an imbalanced lifestyle often appears selfish from the outside...I embraced being that imbalanced while I pursued the impossible dream of becoming the _______ motherfucker ever." ― Goggins
