QUOTE BY WILL BARNETT

You have to believe in what you're doing. In the long run, you have to feel that what you're doing, regardless of the trends, will have a lasting quality. Someday someone may pick it up and recognize that it was superior. (Will Barnet)

WHAT I WISH FOR YOU TODAY

What I wish for myself and for you: Believe in what you are doing. Believe you are making a difference. Make an about face if you don’t.
