There is a point at which a transformation has to take place.

Time is totally perishable and cannot be stored. Yesterday's time is gone forever, and will never come back. Time is always in short supply. There is no substitute for time. Everything requires time.

As soon as you move one step up from the bottom, your effectiveness depends on your ability to reach others through the spoken and written word.
