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.
