Suggestions:
We place the highest value on taking action and getting real results.
Put what you think you know into action. Now.
Find out what you don't know as well as what you thought you did.
Find out what you need to know the most. Now.
Learn more (for a bit). Act more.
Learn-Act. Get into a tight cycle. Like a PDCA cycle.
We want you to pursue this with perseverance and aggressiveness, and at the same time patience.
