Chinese proverb

The hotel where I'm staying in Sydney is right on the edge of Chinatown, so I ducked out for some good Chinese for dinner. Didn't find it in the restaurant I ended up at unfortunately. There was this old Chinese waiter guy, who literally stood beside my table (and th table of others close by to me) and watched us all eat our meals. As soon as we had finished with a glass, bowl, plate, prawn ... he snatched it away to clear things off and then come back and wait for the next bit ...

Anyway, he left me with an interesting fortune cookie, which read, "The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up". Interesting... if you're going to fail, hurry up and do it quickly so that there's plenty of time to get back up and keep going. If you fail at the last minute, there's no time left to redeem yourself. Funny that I'm down here early because of some issues the client was having with the application befire the launch event on Wednesday! I hope that I've already fallen behind and that there's no catching up to do before we get a room full of Sydney business people together to show them how good this thing is :) Time will tell.
