GIVE ME A PLACE TO STAND AND WITH A LEVER I WILL MOVE THE WHOLE WORLD.
- Archimedes (c. 287 – c. 212 BC) -
With this statement, Archimedes recognized the physical importance of levers as instruments to multiply an effect from a limited cause. In life there are also levers, that is, generators of multiplied results.
Hard work and persistence are essential ingredients to achieve your goals. Do not give up, go ahead and try again and again until you achieve what you are looking for.
This is the best formula for success and improving your professional development as far as you can imagine.

It’s lovely and very bold! The use of type is adventurous, and the display of the pictures dramatic. The heaviness and heft of the publication give is real “gravity”, as does the paper stock, which announces a real seriousness…
