Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that.

successful positioning requires consistency. You must keep at it year after year.

In my kingdom,” as the Red Queen tells Alice in Wonderland, “you have to run as fast as you can just to stay in the same place.” No one standing still can triumph, no matter how well constituted.

No matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself

to be successful, you have to be out there, you have to hit the ground running

When doing a job — any job — one must feel that he owns it, and act as though he will remain in that job forever.

I come to the office each morning and stay for long hours doing what has to be done to the best of my ability. And when you've done the best you can, you can't do any better.

I believe that you need to stick with one thing long enough to make it happen.

Our footsteps run, and I don't want them to end. I want to run and laugh and feel like this forever. I want to avoid any awkward moment when the realness of reality sticks its fork into our flesh, leaving us standing there, together. I want to stay here, in this moment, and never go to other places, where we don't know what to say or what to do.

You can only work exactly the same way, at the same pace, doing the same work for so long before monotony bites.

All I am certain of right now is that I don't want to go anywhere, and that's not bad for someone who always used to run.

Every runner understands this. Front runners always work the hardest, and risk the most.
