Quote of the day

The victors of the battles of tomorrow will be those who can best harness thought to action. From office boy to statesman, the prizes will be for those who most effectively exert their brains, who take deep, earnest and studious counsel of their minds, who stamp themselves as thinkers.

It's a win-win for everybody: Not just for the individual, not just production at a specific company (like Nissan), but for the greater good.
