self should-have goal
When you work for others, you are at their mercy. They own your work; they own you. Your creative spirit is squashed. What keeps you in such positions is a fear of having to sink or swim on your own.

When it is yours, it is yours to lose - you are more motivated, more creative, more alive. The ultimate power in life is to be completely self-reliant, completely yourself. Curtis Jackson

It is too upsetting. Government and corporate censorship is therefore welcomed and appreciated. Curtis White
