About Me
I do not choose to be a common man.It is my right to be uncommon-- if I can.
I seek opprtunity-- 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 refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I perfer
the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence;
the thrill of fulfillment to the stale
calm of utopia.I will not trade freedom for beneficence 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, enjoy
the benefit of my creations and to face the
world boldly and say, this I have done.All this is what it means to be an
American.~ "My Creed" by Dean Alfange
