Isn't That The Point? (Abroad or at Home)

“We live in an imperfect world-but one that can be improved over time. That's the exciting part of the age we live in. Operating in countries that are in transition requires a sense of optimism that things will improve, a willingness to become engaged in the process, and a commitment of human and material resources to help shape and bring about the better future most people strive for.”

(Maurice Tempelsman, Chairman of the Board of Lazare Kaplan International, Inc., in “Engaging the Imperfect World.” by Ivan Solotaroff. Modern Jeweler: 2007. Part 2. pg. 14)
