| Company Motto |
I will persist until I succeed
I was not delivered into this world into defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd. I am a Lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny. I will persist until I succeed. by Og Mandino from the book: "The Greatest Salesman in the World" |
