Once upon a time the first Indian cyclist. He lived in that remote time when India was still an island on the way to NW across the ocean. The cyclist ran far and wide for his island and everything was flat and triangular with regular cyclical rhythms.
One day as India met Asia, the two continental plates began to push toward each other and the sea between the two disappeared. This was a pleasant surprise for our friend the cyclist, so he could expand the boundaries of his raids, encroaching on land in Asia. Each day started at his house, pedaled a long time, exceeded the scar of union between the two continents and went into new and unexplored endless plains.
As the two continents were welded took place the process known by scientists as orogeny, which is the formation of a mountain range for folding, or pressure between two plates that will raise the ground level between the same. The process was very slow, so our cyclist friend did not notice that every day he faced was the difference greater.
years passed, centuries and millennia. As the Himalayas became more rugged and steep the cyclist, who was previously a long-distance rider, man time trial, it became an agile climber and agile on the pedals.
One day some friends convinced him to leave together for a sgambatella, but after a few miles they had to stop because the slope and the length of the climb was inaccessible to them physically untrained. It was only then that the rider noticed how, over time, the landscape around him had changed. He found it to be the only rider able to go to the mountains without any problems, the only one who holds the key to escape.
This story is an adaptation in the positive version of the "parable of the frog" in my version of the men who have endured a long shift because they are able to react to the end and understand it from various points of view. They just need to realize this and take matters in hand.
If you put a frog in a pot of boiling water, it will immediately jump out. But if you put it in water at room temperature and not frightened, it will stop. Now, if the pot is a source of heat, and gradually increased if temperature, something very interesting happens. The increase in temperature from 21 to 27 degrees the frog will do nothing. Rather it will demonstrate in every way to enjoy it. With the gradual increase in temperature, the frog will become increasingly unsteady, until no longer be able to jump out of the pot. Why? Because the frog's internal apparatus that perceives threats to survival is geared to react to sudden changes in their environment, and not slow and gradual.

It's never too late to react. Indeed, perhaps it is the right time.
