Conclusion • “The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant” - Max De Pree • Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - Mark Twain
