Personal Quote:
"You will have to search among the oddballs and black sheep, among those whose shoes aren't shined and whose smiles aren't rehearsed. No, do not go in search of a job, but an inspiration. Find a leader, a guide. Find friends. Look until you discover true individuals and then plead with them to take you in." --Dale Dauten
