Now here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!

Summary

This quote from Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking-Glass" captures the idea that in a competitive and swiftly progressing world, simply maintaining the status quo requires significant effort. To truly progress and reach new destinations, one must exert even greater energy and determination, pushing oneself to run at least twice as fast as the current pace. It highlights the importance of constantly striving to stay ahead and achieve one's goals, acknowledging that merely running at a steady pace will not be enough to stand out or succeed.
