The Program

 

What does it take to build a 'program?' 

The kind that lasts.  The kind that lingers. The kind that leaves a lifetime impression. 

A program outlives names and titles.  A program has lively tentacles that reach out and touch everyone and everything within reach. 

A team.  A business.  A marriage.  A family.  

What does it take? 

1.) Vision 

2.) Passion 

3.) Intestinal fortitude

4.) Humility

5.) Love 

6.) Intelligence 

7.) Patience 

8.) That "one thing." 

Remember "City Slickers?" 

"Do you know what the secret of life is?... One thing.  Just one thing. You stick to that and the rest don't mean shit

...that's what you have to find out." 

That's a Program. 

"Brown right. Motion. Tailback slant." 

You know the rest...
