WEEK FORTY-ONE:
MOVE OR DIE
"So what do we do? Anything - something. So long as we just don't sit there. If we screw it up, start over. Try something else. If we wait until we've satisfied all the uncertainties, it may be too late."
- Lee Iacocca
Some sharks must swim constantly in order to keep oxygen-rich water flowing over their gills. In other words, if they stop swimming, they drown.
Therefore, in order to survive they constantly swim in the ocean to keep 'breathing'. Movement is literally a matter of life and death for these creatures, but most people treat idleness more casually.
Sometimes we don't stay still because of our own choice. Sometimes we feel like we're damned if we do anything, and damned if we don't.
It is better to try something and fail, than to try nothing and fail. If you try and fail, tr y it again. Idleness is a sign of defeat, and we must keep swimming like our lives depend on it.
