G el 0 an

As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don't know
We don't know.

"The best reason to start an organization
is to make meaning. Meaning is not
about money, fame or power. Instead,
meaning is about making the world a
better place, increasing the quality of
life, righting a wrong and preventing
good from ending."
Guy Kawasaki
