American’s creed
I do not choose to be a common man, it is my right to be uncommon.
I seek the opportunity to develop whatever talents God gave me, Not security.
I do not wish to be a melt citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me.
I want to take the calculated risk to dream and to build. To fail and to succeed.
I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence, the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia.
I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my duty for a handout.
I will never cower before any earthly master nor bend to any threat.
It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid, to think and act myself, enjoy the benefit of my creations and to face the world boldly and say this with God’s help, I have done all this.
This is what it means to be an American.
