If you want to go fast, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.
- African proverb

If you need a quote for your next motivational talk, use this one. It's really been on my mind for the last 6 weeks, after hearing it in a speech. After looking it up online, I realize that a bunch of speakers have used it...but I decided to not let that stop me from posting it.

Maybe DC has taken a bit o' the individualism out of me, since this is a place where ppl have to work together to get anything done, despite the blatant divisiveness. This quote resonates with me because I'm connecting more with the 2nd half, although during most of my life I've valued the first line.

Well, I could write more about "what this quote means to me," but I'm going to go "all Augustine" on you and try to be somewhat vague. (so you can think about how it applies to your own life.) Peace.
