“Inspirational” messages

My father likes to send me these little inspirational emails. This one sorta caught my eye as particularly…. uh…. well, you decide:

"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'd better be running. "

Every morning I get up and go to the gym at 05:30, starting on the treadmill. I'm gonna go home and ask my wife whether she thinks I'm a Gazelle or a Lion.

We had this saying in our Bugzilla quips at my prior job.

The natural followup was pretty funny:

"I don't have to run faster than the lion. I just have to run faster than *you*."
