The Rise Up manifesto:

Follow your passion.

Don’t follow the norm.

Don’t take no for an answer.

Don’t accept mediocrity.

Don’t curb your enthusiasm.

Don’t be afraid to do your own thing.

I believe I can do it better.

I want to make the rules.

I know I can make a go of it.

I want to work for myself.
