The world needs people.....
who cannot be bought;
whose word is their bond;
who put character above wealth;
who possess opinions and a will;
who are larger than their vocations;
who don’t hesitate to take chances;
who won’t lose their individuality in a crowd;
who’ll be as honest in small things as they are in great things;
who’ll make no compromise with wrong;
whose ambitions are not confined to selfish desires;
who’ll not say they do it because everybody else does it;
who are true to their friends through good report and evil report, in adversity as well as prosperity;
who do not believe that shrewdness, cunning and hard-headedness, are the best qualities for winning success;
who are not afraid to stand for the truth even when its unpopular;
who say “No” with emphasis even though the rest of the world says “Yes”.
