| Determination | There isn’t much water in a desert, but if you keep looking you will find it. (and if you don’t, keep looking, you will find it.) |
| Purpose | When we recognise the bigger purpose of our work – to make the world a better, fairer, more equal place for people, then we can bring that depth of regard and purpose to every aspect of our work. |
