Read this earlier and it got me thinking about todays society. What if we all decided to apply this in our lives.
I do not choose to be a common man or woman. It is my right to be uncommon-if I can.
I seek opportunity-not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me.
I want to take the calculated risk-to dream and build-to fail and succeed.
I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to be guaranteed existence-the thrill of fulfillment to the calm state of Utopia.
I will not trade freedom for beneficence-nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master-nor bend to any threat.
It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid-to think and act for myself-enjoy the benefits of my creations and to face the world boldly, and say-This I have done.
