Sounds DANGEROUS... COUNT ME IN!

There´s the will to conquer, the impulse to fight, to prove oneself superior to others, to succeed for the sake, not of the fruits of success, but of success itself. Finally there is a joy of creating, of getting things done, or simply excercising one´s energy and ingenuity. Capitalism is not a matter of counting coins. Capitalism is a romance and an adventure. --Joseph Schumpeter

MANHOOD A man's usefulness depends on his living up to his ideals insofar as he can. It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. All daring and courage, all iron endurance of man's misfortune make for a finer, nobler type of manhood. Only those are fit to live who do not fear to die, and none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life. -- Theodore Roosevelt
