The rat race

Was having a nice conversation with a friend, basically having the quintessential intelligence vs hardwork debate which I just don't seem to get. In my opinion both complement and enhance each other. Hardwork can nurture your intelligence.
Anyway, the point we both agreed on is that its all about a big huge rat race, and concluded that we both are rats. So badly stuck in this race that we can't stop. Stopping is not an option, not when you've ran your heart out all your life. Since we are stuck, its best to keep running. And since we have to keep running, why not run well? I have decided to sprint like its my final lap. When are you catching up?

P.S. How many of you have felt like that? The feeling of a rat in a race who can't stop?
