Lesson #4: It's Good to Be Out in Front

This may seem to contradict Lesson #3 but this lesson deals more with the physical rather than the temporal world. An alternate title could be, Don't Get Left Behind.

When you're out on a walk you naturally want to be the leader and that means you're out in front of the pack, scouting the trail, looking for things to chase, and making sure everything is safe for those who follow. Everything is going nice and smooth as long as the caravan continues to fall in behind you.


But sometimes the direction suddenly changes much to your surprise. Or you guess wrong at a Y junction. At times like these it's imperative to make up the lost ground and go as quickly as possible to the front of the walking party so that proper order is reestablished. All because it's important to be ahead of the general train.
