My Creed

I choose to be a free man.
I believe opportunity breeds success, therefore I seek opportunity, not security.
I want the freedom of choice to select my options.
I prefer the beckoning of challenge to a guaranteed existence.
It is my heritage to rely on my God and myself, to be an individual in my thoughts, decisions, and actions.
I find satisfaction in the thrill of accomplishment and too many restrictive burdens in the socialist system.
I want to take the calculated risk, to dream and to build, to attempt and to succeed.
If in trying I fail, I ask only for the chance to try again.
I refuse to exchange my right to exercise my initiative for a promise of state supplied security.
I believe in a social system which allows me to face new challenges, to develop opportunities for myself and others, and to justly enjoy the benefits of my creations.
I find no substitute for freedom.
