MY CREED
I choose to be a free man,
I believe opportunity breeds success, therefore I seek opportunity, not security.
I prefer the beckoning of challenge to a guaranteed existence.
I want to take the calculated risk, to dream and to build, to attempt and to succeed.
If in trying I fail, I look for the chance to try again.
It is my heritage to rely on myself, to be an individual in my thoughts, decisions and actions.
I want the freedom of choice to select my options.
I find satisfaction in the thrill of accomplishment.
I refuse to exchange my right to exercise my initiative for a promise of state supplied security.
I abhor totalitarian systems.
I believe in a social system that allows me to face new challenges, to develop opportunities for myself and others, and to justly enjoy the benefits of my creations.
I believe equal opportunity for all is necessary to preserve peace and stability.
I feel compassion and generosity toward those in need.
I find no substitute for freedom.
- Ramiro A. Galindo, 1977
