We do not choose to be common men. 
It is our right to be uncommon – if we can. 
We seek opportunity – not security. 
We do not wish to be kept citizens,
humbled and dulled by having the State look after us. 
We want to take the calculated risk;
to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. 
We refuse to barter incentive for a dole. 
We prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence;
the thrill of fulfilment to the stale calm of Utopia. 
We will not trade freedom for beneficence,
not our dignity for a handout. 
It is our heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid;
to think and act for ourselves; enjoy the benefit of our creations,
to face the world boldly and say
– “This we have done”. 
All this, is what it means to be Winners.
