Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy, nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat. I have come to believe that much of what separates the successful from the unsuccessful is simply determination. The successful are not always the brightest, the best looking, or those with the most prestigious diplomas. These people have entered into and continually live in the arena of dedication. Staying there long enough usually puts them on top.
Dedication is a key to success.
So far, we have had you determine your corporate values, and had you dream and think of the possibilities for your life, work, and organization.

Then spend some time preparing to meet the challenges. Here are some questions to help you get through the process, prepare yourself for the job ahead, and come out on the end of success. Focusing in on these questions will help you prepare for the times when you will need to show dedication, perseverance and inner fortitude.
