Opposition  
 
"Don't be afraid of opposition. Remember,a kite rises against,
  not with, the wind." -Hamilton Wright Mabie

Sometimes competition doesn't always feel warm and fuzzy. But in reality- competition drives improvement and innovation. Our competition makes us stronger and better by forcing us to provide improved service and products. -Amy
