The Power Of Kina'ole
By Marketing Director on 1/30/2006
In ancient Hawaii, if you were skilled, trained or a professional in any line of work or service, the specific tasks or activities that you engaged in were expected to be performed without defect or flaw.  If you were in the skilled trades, or an artist, public official, priest, or merchant -- anything less than than flawlessness was not acceptable.
