“Working hard for something we don’t care about is
called stress. Working hard for something we love is
called passion.”
Together is Better

4. Together is Better!
“A team is not a group of people who work together.
A team is a group of people who trust each other.”
“…to build a world in which the vast majority of us
wake up every single morning inspired to go to
work, feel safe when we’re there and return home
fulfilled at the end of the day.”
- Simon Sinek
