Better To Do
Post Written By Eugene Morgan ‘Better to do something imperfectly than to do nothing flawlessly.’— Robert H.

Unless We Do
Post Written By Eugene Morgan “Nothing will work unless you do.” ˜ Maya Angelou It always starts with us if we want to make progress. Our action is the main ingredient to make something work.
