16 Riddle You are driving in your car and you see there are three people at a bus stop: Your best friend, a sick old lady in need of hospital care and the woman of your dreams, whom you may never see again. Its pouring with rain and you only have room for one more person in your car. Who do you take?

I can see the whole picture of the department This function is very complex There are many challenges, and we won’t solve them all, but we can find simple solutions We will be able to bite in small chunks Debate on independence arouses a lot of thought We are more prepared and empower ed for tomorro w We need to walk around the elephant to see how big it us before we start to eat it in small chunks I buy into the idea of a strategy with an end in mind We are building at the foundation level while we are trying to install windows at the same time
