Just A Mere Philosophy
By Jonathan Fox III

Business will continue to go where invited and stay where appreciated.
Reputations will continue to be made by many acts and lost by one.
People will go right on preferring to do business with friends.
Go-givers will become the best go-getters.
The extra mile of personal effort will be free of traffic jams.
Performance will continue to outsell promises.
Enthusiasm will be as contagious as ever.
Know-how will out-perform guess-how.
Trust, not tricks, will keep customers loyal.
Quality will be prized as a precious possession.
