Daily Toast- Ujima 229171(Collaberation is the Key)

We as a people have a goal, and it is to rise above our present station in this country. In order for us to reach it we have to cooperate, and it is from this cooperation that we will win. Now the fact is that this cooperation does not take all of us. It only requires a critical mass of about 5%. The same goes for you in your personal life. In the beginning you do not need the whole, only a critical mass, a small part of your being that desire the change that you are seeking.
Let's stop and talk.......
