Quote to illustrate how big-time changes have historically happened in the world, and in health care systems, and finally in oral health care systems:

"Productive Outrage:  Sometimes outrage is the first step in innovation.  Not outrage at some-one, outrage at some-thing.  Productive outrage says, 'This is ridiculous.  There's got to be a better way.'
"There's nothing wrong with frustration and outrage.  It means you care.  The issue is what you do with that feeling.  You have the choice every minute to channel the energy into a solution or blame others for making you feel frustrated."                                 -Mark Shapiro, E-Myth.com

Words to live by

 
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." - Stanford 2005 commencement address
