...talent means nothing, while experience, acquired in humility and with hard work, means everything.
The word infrastructure means nothing to the majority of people of America. We have to come up with a sexier word than infrastructure. So the key thing is that you have to go out and promote and market this the right way like with everything in policy.
With each draft, the work gets better, and usually that means tighter. It means getting the precise word, not the approximate word.
The word 'Islam' means 'peace.' The word 'Muslim' means 'one who surrenders to God.' But the press makes us seem like haters.
