“Human ambitions are like
Japanese carp; they grow
proportional to the size of
their environment. Our
achievements grow
according to the size of our
dreams and the degree to
which we are in touch with
our mission.”

are more like
muscles – the
more you work
them, the
stronger they
become… it’s
the exercising
of equity that
builds equity.- Keith Ferrazzi,
