Quotes About Achieving

I think the WikiLeaks releases furnish us with an opportunity to observe the upper reaches of the American status hierarchy in all its righteousness and majesty.

Service standards keep rising. As competitors render better and better service, customers become more demanding. Their expectations grow.
