-- TO MY FRIENDS --
When we hold meetings,
let's make sure to keep
to the planned times.
Let's make them as productive
and value-creating as possible
by being careful
about the number of times we meet
and the actual content of them.
It's from having a good rhythm
of coming together
and going back out into society
that victory in all that we do
is born.
