What sort of people join the Team? What sort of people see the opportunity?
Give this some thought:
Once where a prophet in the palm shade basked.
A traveler chanced at noon to rest his miles.
"What sort of people may they be," he asked,
"In this proud city on the plains o'erspread?"
"Well, friend, what sort of people whence you came?"
"What sort?" the packman scowled;
"why, knaves and fools."
"You'll find the people here the same," the wise man said.
Another stranger in the dusk drew near.
And pausing, cried, "What sort of people here,
In your bright city where yon towers arise?"
"Well, friend, what sort of people whence you came?"
"What sort?" the pilgrim smiled,
"Good, true and wise."
"You'll find the people here the same," the wise man said.

Thanks Orrin Woodward, for being the kind of person who looks for the good and the true, and for being wise. Thanks for sharing the opportunity and making it available to me and my family.

Your life is on the line.
