To catch up, you have to run faster than the leader.

Quote of the Week 23

"To catch up, you have to run faster than the leader."
― Mark Akers


Full quote taken from the book Indiana (in) Decision by Mark Aker:

"If you are running in a race and are behind the leader, to catch up, you have to run faster than the leader."


Triggered by Gunter Dueck's variant of the quote in German:

"Wenn man zur Spitze aufschliessen will, muss man schneller laufen als der Erste."
