One of Steve's favorite quotes is Thomas
Edison's statement that "genius is 1% inspiration and
99% perspiration". Steve is always pointing out that
there are many examples of "perspiration" at Rambow.
"Perspiration" in the form of the many different
techniques and strategies we've applied to "invent"
new or improved methods of embroidery, screen print, and
now online service to our customers. Steve also points out
that Edison’s statement: ‘We have successfully
developed 500 ways in which the light bulb will not work’
well describes our persistent mission to perfect our ‘light
bulb’.
