I don't want to be greedy. But, I don't want to be restricted because the other groups aren't doing as well. When they get it together, they can use us as a way to catch up. (We can leave behind some breadcrumbs, or something, to show them the path.

Just because we are leading, doesn't mean we have to slow down.
