"MY CREED"
I DO NOT CHOOSE TO BE COMMON.
IT IS MY RIGHT TO BE UNCOMMON.
IF I CAN I SEEK OPPORTUNITY, NOT SECURITY.
I WANT TO TAKE THE CALCULATED RISK, TO DREAM AND TO BUILD, TO FAIL AND TO SUCCEED. I REFUSE TO BARTER INCENTIVE FOR A DOLE.

YOU NEVER GROW BY HOW MUCH YOU WIN,
YOU ONLY GROW BY HOW MUCH...

EVERY MORNING IN AFRICA A LION WAKES UP, IT KNOWS IT MUST RUN FASTER THAN THE SLOWEST GAZELLE OR IT WILL STARVE.
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHICH YOU ARE, WHEN THE SUN COMES UP YOU BETTER BE RUNNING.
