 Closing
“To every man there comes a time in his
lifetime, that special moment when he is
finally tapped on the shoulder and offered
that chance to do a special thing, unique
to him and his talents. What a tragedy if
that moment finds him unprepared or
unqualified for that work.”
Winston Churchill
