Gentlemen - and ladies - allow this revelation to enter your minds. A man not running is a man not profiting. Any person taking twenty-two hours out of a day can not be considered efficient! Why, he is still wasting two hours! People protest that they need rest; tut, tut, tut… What value does rest have when there is money to be made? The only other option is that it becomes lost and we must not allow this to happen!
My audience, do not misunderstand me. Without energy, a man can not offer his best, surely. A walk here and there is good to think, reorganize, establish your best course of action. Yet, these walks must be well-timed, so as not to interfere with those sprints of space needed for running. There’s money to be made after all, stakes to be risen… politicians to please.
A single sniff of the rose is just as sweet as ten or twenty, isn’t it? A kiss to your spouse and children once a week sends the same message as a daily smooch, correct? Besides, they will only be truly happy with a stucco-tile roof over their heads, three five-course meals a day, and a flat-screen TV in every room. As long as you continue to run and meet these earthly requirements, they will know you love them and nothing further will be needed. As nothing should!
Oh, what is that? The asphalt has eaten through the soles of your shoes? And it’s now tearing into your flesh? Never you mind, keep going, keep aiming higher and higher. Remember, the pain you’re feeling is nothing compared to the time and profit you will lose in stopping to nurse and bandage your feet. Pain is gain after all.
In this, I can conclude, ladies and gentlemen, that at the fabulous rate you’re going, you will come to the end of your life with broken, bloodied feet and dry heaving in your little high-rise of the world, barren of all those friends and loved ones who just couldn’t keep up with you. But I’m sure if you send them down some money from that gigantic, over-stuffed vault of yours, they’ll understand. Yes, they’ll understand how they should’ve followed your example, rather then using love, laughter, or relaxation to get the most out of their time. They’ll have their numerous, like-minded friends to complain to and you’ll have the echo of pleasing silence to recline against. Fear not weary traveler… you have chosen well.
