Principles

A story…
A wise old Chief is dying, so he calls his Tribe to his side for the last time. He gives each member of the Tribe a short, sturdy stick. “Break the stick.” The old man says. With some effort they all manage to snap their sticks in half.
“This is how is it when we stand alone. We are easily broken.”

Then the old man hands each of them another stick. “This time turn to your neighbors.” He says. “Put your sticks together in bundles of twos & threes. Now try to break these in half!”

None of them is able to break the bundles of sticks. “We are strong when we stand with another soul. When we are together we cannot be broken.”
That is the essence of the Dragon Network.
