In Addition To Self-awareness, Imagination And Conscience, It Is The Fourth Human Endowment - Independent Will - That Really Makes Effective Self-management Possible.

Empowerment Comes From Learning How To Use This Great Endowment In The Decisions We Make Every Day.

To Touch The Soul Of Another Human Being Is To Walk On Holy Ground.
