“To every person, there comes
in their lifetime that special
moment when they are tapped
on the shoulder and offered
that chance to do a very
special thing, unique to them
and fitted to their talents.
What a tragedy if that moment
finds them unprepared and
unqualified for the work that
would be their finest hour.”
~ Winston Churchill
