Sustainability
The quality of not being harmful to the social or spatial wellbeing or depleting resources, and thereby supporting long-term social and spatial balance
Equity
The distribution of material and non- material goods in a manner that brings the greatest benefit required to any particular community

The Focus of my Work
"
"
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved the problems of the human race.
