"You must maintain unwavering faith that you
can and will prevail in the end, regardless of
the difficulties, and at the same time have the
discipline to confront the most brutal facts of
your current reality, whatever they might be."
--Jim Collins. "From Good to Great"
"Once you have experienced excellence, you
will never again allow yourself to be content
with mediocrity." --Unknown
