A friend of mine who is in the computer business and real estate business used to have a sign hanging in his office which maybe you've seen.  The sign reads: "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle awakens. It knows it must run faster than the lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion awakens.  It knows it must run faster than the gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle -- when the sun comes up, you'd better be running."

I know how both the lion and the gazelle feel, don't you? Have you noticed, there seems to be an unwritten motto or code in our society which says "the busier you are, the happier you are." We buy into it and so we strive to be busy. Sometimes we work hard at staying busy.  But busy-ness for busy-ness sake is a mistake…
