When It Comes To Mentors, You Can't

There's Something So Universal About That Sensation, The Way Running Unites Our Two Most Primal Impulses: Fear And Pleasure. We Run When We're Scared, We Run When We're Ecstatic, We Run Away From Our Problems And Run Around For A Good Time.

Humans Are Built For Endurance, Not Speed. We're Awful Sprinters Compared To Every Other Animal. We Try To Run Our Races As If They Were Speed Races, But They Are Not. They're Endurance Races. Even A Marathon, The Way It's Run Now, It's Not An Endurance Contest.

When It Comes To Mentors, You Can't Beat Survival.

You Don't Have To Be Fast. But You'd Better Be Fearless.
