R. Buckminster Fuller once said: “There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you that it is going to be a butterfly.” Do not despair and lose hope because of where you are and what you are facing. When you seem to have exhausted all possibilities, note well that there are still too many possibilities that you have not yet…

John Mason once said: “Mediocrity is a region bordered on the North by compro- mise, on the South by indecision, on the East by past thinking, and on the West by a lack of vision.” The driving force of all greatness is a deep and clear sense of vi- sion. You are on the path to mediocrity when you compromise…

Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least. The luxury of majoring on minors is an expensive game. Priorities are not what you say, but what you do…

It is time to take a step. One step forward is not too much to ask. If you do nothing; nothing may ever happen and you may never earn…

My grandfather was a builder. He built in his time. My uncles became builders. They learnt from a building father. My father worked for a building contractor.
