Manifesto
What’s wrong with cutting corners?
It’s fun and fast and you get places quickly.

But here’s the thing,
You look behind you
And something’s always not quite right.
Because when you cut a corner
You take the easy way, not the right way
And someone always knows.
Someone always feels somewhat cheated
Your friends, your team, your family,
You.
And when you don’t cut corners
That means something.
It makes a difference.
It improves someone's day
Or life
Or business
Or clothes
Maybe your day
Maybe your life.
Your business
Your clothes.
Cut no corners
And no corners
Will cut you.
