I do not choose to be a common person
I seek opportunity - not security.
I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled
and dulled by having the state look after me.
I want to take the calculated risk;
to dream and to build,
to fail and to succeed.
I prefer the challenges of life
to the guaranteed existence;
the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of Utopia.
I will not trade freedom for beneficience
nor my dignity for a handout.
I will never cower before any master
nor bend to any threat.
It is my heritage to stand erect,
proud and unafraid, to think and act for myself,
to enjoy the benefit of my creations
and to face the world boldly and say:
"This, with God’s help, I have done.
All this is what it means to be an Entrepreneur".
