To complete our mission statement, we will quote a passage from Buckminster Fuller’s masterpiece, Critical Path.

When asked by a ten years old boy whether he was a doer or a thinker, Fuller replied the following in a letter, dated February 16, 1970:

“The things to do are: the things that need doing: that you see need to be done, and that no one else seems to see need to be done. Then you will conceive your own way of doing that which needs to be done- that no one else has told you to do or how to do it. (…) Try making experiments of anything you conceive and are intensely interested in. Don’t be disappointed if something doesn’t work.”

Let us paraphrase Fuller by saying:

We have what is most important in life. And that for sure is initiative.
