Marilah kita mulai dengan akhir. Satu hal yang aneh mungkin buat Anda. Memulai dari yang akhir, padahal biasanya memulai dari permulaan, starting from the beginning. Mengapa harus starting with the end? Kenapa kita memulai dari yang akhir? Akhir itu adalah harapan dan tujuan yang menjadi keinginan kita semua yang disebut dengan istilah dream island, pulau impian. ↗

To have a man whose name is on the label showing such interest, commitment, and determination for the best is a wonderful thing. This is someone who will throw money at quality, who believes in being the best. Never knock it. Would you prefer to have a bean counter in corporate headquarters, someone who never comes near the brewery, making decisions solely on the basis of the bottom line and profit margins? ↗

Most of us are continually engaged in some form of pursuit. We are seeking excellence within one or more areas in our lives, and that is the basis of our motivation. It is human nature to have a need to get ahead, need a little something more—it’s in our DNA. Although we may not be certain of what we need at any given moment, we know there’s something. It’s a competitive itch and desire to improve that never goes away. ↗

Neither a life of anarchy nor one beneath a despot should you praise; to all that lies in the middle a god has given excellence. ↗
