When I was in Dubai, I bought a fantastic book, written by Muhammad bin Raschid Al Maktum, the Vice President of the UAE, because of his quote on the cover:

"With each new day in Africa, a gazelle wakes up knowing he must outrun the fastest lion or perish. At the same time, a lion stirs and stretches, knowing he must outrun the fastest gazelle or starve. It's no different for the human race. Whether you consider yourself a gazelle or a lion, you have to run faster than others to survive." ⏳
