"I do not choose to be a common person.It is my right to be uncommon-if i can.I seek opportunity-not security.I do not wish to be a kept citizen,humbled and dulled by having the state look after me.
I want to take the calculated risk,to dream and to build,to fail and to succeed.
I refuse to barter incentive for a role; I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence: the thrill of fulfillment to the state calm utopia.
I will not trade my freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout.I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat.
It is my heritage to stand erect,proud and unafraid;to think and act for myself,to enjoy the benefit of my creations and to face the world boldly and say:
This with God's help, I have done.All this is what it means to be an ENTREPRENEUR."
Official Credo of American Entrepreneurs Association
