I do not choose to be a common man.

It is my right to be uncommon, if I can.

I seek opportunity, not security. 

I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me.

I want to take the calculated risk, to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed.

I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. 

I prefer the challenge of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfilment to the stale calm of utopia.

I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. 

It is my heritage to think and to act for myself, to enjoy the benefit of my ceations, and to face the world boldly and say, "This I have done."

All this is what it means to be a free man.
