I do not choose to be a common man.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 to build,to fail and to succeed.I refuse to barter incentive for a dole.I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence;the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm 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.
