To the degree that a man is competent, he survives. To the degree he is incompetent, he perishes.

     Encourage the attainment of competence in any worthwhile pursuit. Compliment it and reward it whenever you find it.

     Demand high performance standards. The test of a society is whether or not you, your family and friends can live in it safely.

     The ingredients of competence include observation, study and practice.
