Words with meaning

A company is a small nation. Nations need cohesion, something to rally around, a reason for being. As we approach the birth of our Nation, I thought it would be inspiring and instructive to revisit some of the words that built and continue to fortify America. May we all channel Jefferson as we craft the words, statements, values, and beliefs that shape our day-to-day. Here’s to missions that mean something and the commitment to see them through.

“When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness…”
