"We are what We Repeatedly do" – Aristotle
I was reading a book that was given to me by the Superintendent of our School System called , "The Fred Factor". The book is a great read as it discusses the importance of being an individual that goes out of his or her way to perform their job to its fullest. The story is about a Mail Carrier named Fred who took an incredible amount of pride in his work and was most concerned with building personal relationships with the people on his route to better be able to give them the best possible service. It is a quick read and leaves you wanting to be more like Fred in whatever it is that you have chosen to do as a profession.

We have put up many philosophy posts on this in the past and even though they were some longer posts I tried to really hammer home some of the various points that we feel identify our belief system on how to train.
