Show me a business or a school or a church that is preoccupied with its customers or clients, determined to do its best for them and not just to survive for the sake of surviving, and I'll bet you that they don't have time for too many committees, for forms, for politicking or for nitpicking about mistakes. Those are the organizations which are fun to be in, which give you room to be yourself, to express yourself, to grow.
