"If you can’t fly, run. If you can’t run, walk. If you can’t walk, crawl. But by all means, keep moving."
–Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929–1968)
American civil rights leader
Nobel Peace Prize winner
Sales inspiration…
Martin Luther King lived for just over 39 years.
He traveled over six million miles, spoke on over 2500 occasions, became an icon for civil rights, was the youngest Time magazine Man of the Year (35), and won the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize.
When you have some time (outside the money hours, of course), enjoy his “I Have a Dream” speech, read his Nobel Prize acceptance, or listen to this quick audio clip from his Drum Major Instinct sermon for a little inspiration (full text of the speech).
(Today’s the 46th anniversary of King’s delivery of “I Have a Dream” at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C.)
Spencer Lightsy says:
This is the first time I have seen this quote and I love it. It reminds me of Pacino’s “inches” speech, and the lion and the gazelle quote. Keep moving, scratch and claw for inches, and always wake up running.
