INVESTITURE CEREMONY 2017-18

“Great leaders don’t set out to be a leader;...they set out to make a difference. It’s never about the role always about the goal”.

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”
