I heard this quote yesterday and I was literally blown away, you can't believe it.
"The animal that is chasing you determines the speed at which you run"

Nothing has been as true and accurate as this in my life before. This is probably the reason most people never or under achieve. They simply just don't know what is chasing them thus randomly adjusting to the pace of the people within their circles. Others choose to pick up only the pace set by their parents or guardians which is not bad but they then decide to never go beyond it ever. Therefore, since the youth of our generation also find no error or harm in such lifestyles, the mediocrity kind of living is here to stay for it keeps spreading to its unsuspecting victims with all the ease!
The kind of generation we living in is so superficial and incapable of having independent thoughts about its well being. What a waste! Yet we have to fight, we have to keep talking and writing, we have to keep using our voices and every other conceivable form of influence known to man to EDUCATE our fellow youths. To ENLIGHTEN the mind of our people, to ILLUMINATE our community leaving transformation in our wake, to PERSUADE Africans living in the diaspora to come and join our revolution against a mediocrity kind of lifestyle.
