We measure our own success by how closely we come to achieving this goal.  Work is the most important component of life—it takes the most of our time and determines the quality of our existence.

The more we have stayed true to this vision the better we have done.  I want to ... express the principles upon which we in company have endeavored to live up to ... Here is how it sums up: We try to remember that medicine is for the patient. We try never to forget that medicine is for the people. It is not for the profits. The profits follow, and if we have remembered that, they have never failed to appear. The better we have remembered it, the larger they have been. —George Merck II CORE VALUE 2 : WE MUST DOMINATE THE MARKET Core Observation : In order to dominate the market, we must be the best branded business in our field.  At Short Task we are inspired by this quote because we believe in what we do and in survival. In order to prosper and carry our message forward, we need to be the best in our field.  To my imagination it is far more satisfactory to look at [well-adapted] specifies not as specially endowed or created instincts, but as small consequences of one general law leading to the advancement of all organic beings—namely, multiply, vary, let the strongest live and the weakest die. —Charles Darwin, Origin of Species CORE VALUE 3 : WE CONSTANTLY CHANGE THE RULES OF THE GAME Core Observation : Consumers tend to jump on the bandwagons leading up, and jump off those leading down. A band with positive direction attracts buyers; one with negative direction repels them.  At Short Task we are inspired by this quote because we believe that we must constantly advance and get better and better at what we do.  You can't just keep doing what works one time, because everything around you is always changing. To succeed, you have to stay out in front of that change. —Sam Walton CORE VALUE 4 : WE MUST CONSTANTLY USE TECHNOLOGY TO DRIVE INNOVATION   We respect technology at Short Task and realize its value to who we are as a group.
