I do not choose to be a common man…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… to refuse to barter incentive for a dole… i prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence, the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of utopias….

The lack of opportunity is ever the excuse of a weak, vacillating mind. opportunities! every life is full of them. every newspaper article is an opportunity. every client is an opportunity. every sermon is an opportunity. every business transaction is an opportunity, an opportunity to be polite, an opportunity to be manly, an opportunity to be honest, an opportunity to make friends.
