Remember this, and keep it near you:
I am only one,
But still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something.
And because I cannot do everything,
I will not refuse to do
The something that I can do.
As we all work together, we must be mindful of our own importance, and of each other’s importance. Each of us is one important person, on one important team, with a purpose that will benefit each of us.
