57 +== Why? ==
58 +
59 +The world is now changing at a rate at which the basic systems, structures, and cultures built over the past century cannot keep up with.
60 +We have the opportunity to create a mindset where there is a new sense of optimism, mission accomplishment, and accountability.
61 +This will help us meet our immediate goals and better position us to deal with the challenges of the twenty-first century

69 +What if we created the best job someone ever had?
70 +
71 +There is an alternative. It’s a different sort of increase, a better sort of safety.
72 +It’s work that matters. It’s creating a difference, being part of something, and doing work we’re proud of.
73 +This is the song of significance. This is what motivates people to do the work that can’t be automated, mechanized, or outsourced.
74 +
75 +But how? How to change the systems we’ve worked so hard to build for generations?
76 +
77 +//The answer begins simply with: we need to choose.//
