Quote to think about

• If you want to feel secure, do what you already
  know how to do. If you want to be a true
  professional and continue to grow.go to the
  cutting edge of your competence, which means a
  temporary loss of security. So whenever you
  dont quite know what youre doing, know you are
  growing.
• Madeline Hunter
