DREAMING
Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.”
Gloria Steinem
DREAMS……..
“I have always been a dreamer.
“Some dreams come true. For over 40 years I have gotten up in the morning eager to get to the office. Every aspect of my work is consistent with my core life values and the strengths of my personality. The work is intellectually challenging and requires conceptual and strategic thinking. I help people, and what I do makes a difference to the people whom I touch and to many whom I will never see.”
-Woody Mosten
