What Do You Remember?

I have a sign hanging in my office. I've had it for a really long time. I remember I bought it as a reminder--but I couldn't tell you the last time I read it all the way through. Well, before today that is. Be You. A Genuine Original. Find your voice. Make a difference. Don't forget where you came...
