Image
No company has a permanent consumer franchise. No one has the only game in town. The never-ending cycle of destruction and change inherent in a capitalist economy always provides new opportunities for those with determination, goals and concentration.

I've learned that people will seldom let you down if they understand that your destiny is in their hands, and vice versa.
