The world is filled with misguided rivalry.
People are consistently battling the wrong enemy.
A sports team’s opponent is not the other team on the field.
A corporation’s competitor is not a company with a similar business model or product.
The real adversary is not found on the battle field, in some ballpark or on the exhibit floor of an industry trade show.
Our opposition is not one another. Nor is it something that can be touched.
It is time.
Every aspect of life is a race against the clock.
We are only limited by the numbers of hours in a day and the amount of days in our lives.
Athletic prowess only counts while the clock is still running.
All products are eventually obsoleted by better ideas, more advanced technology and changing needs.
And victory can only come to those who recognize the real enemy.
Ticktock.
