In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock. Thomas Jefferson.(Attributed).

Living isn’t without its struggles and challenges. There are occasions when just getting through the day is an accomplishment.

Making things happen, getting it done, whatever you have your eye on, takes patience, belief in yourself and your work. It takes knowing that what you are doing makes a difference. It takes the ability to continually keep learning, constantly improving your product and service.

It takes tons of hard work and sacrifice, focusing on the longer run rather than on the immediate quarter. It takes humility and the willingness to be vulnerable.

Oh, did I mention old fashioned staying power?
