"The way we did it yesterday, no matter how good it was, is not good enough for today and not nearly good enough for tomorrow. We have to evolve continually to become and remain an effective organization. We must not merely be better able to respond to such changes as are all about us and continue to be forthcoming, but we must play a positive role in being shapers of such change. In so doing, we must become players because the role of spectator simply adds nothing to our cause. In sum, we have learned that we can and must take the initiative."

"Work Hard, Work Smart, Make Money, Have Fun!"
