Let me write a blog article about “The Strong Must Protect the Sweet” drawing relevant connections to the Strong Business School’s mission and values while maintaining a personal tone:
There’s something deeply moving about the phrase “the strong must protect the sweet.” As someone who’s spent years studying business leadership and education I’ve come to see this simple statement as a powerful metaphor for responsible leadership and institutional values.

Sure, I might offend a few of the *blue*-noses with my cocky stride and musky odors. Oh! Ill never be the darling of the so-called “City Fathers” who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards, and talk about “Whats to be done with this Homer Simpson?”!
- Marge: Look, just get rid of the sugar, okay?
- Homer: No!
- Homer: [imitating Al Pacino] Een America, first you get da suger, den you get de power, den you get de weemen.
- Homer: [screams as bees swarm onto his pile of sugar] Hey! Get off my sugar! Bad bees! Bad!
- [bees sting him]
- Homer: Ow! OW! Oh, theyre defending themselves somehow!
- Homer: [sleepily] Must… protect… sugar. Thieves everywhere. The strong must protect the sweet. The sweet…
- Homer: Oh yeah, Marge? You said I wouldnt make any money. Well, I made a dollar while waiting for the bus.
- Marge: While you were out making that dollar, you lost forty dollars by not going to work. And the plant called and said that if you dont come in tomorrow, dont bother coming in Monday.
- Homer: WOOHOO! Four day weekend.
- Marge: [shaking Homer awake] Homer.
- Homer: [sleepily] Uh…
- Marge: Homer!
- Homer: Wha-what?
- Marge: I want you to forget about guarding the stupid sugar. Youre being completely paranoid!
- Homer: Oh, am I? Am I really?

- Homer: Ah-HA!
- Tea-Drinking Man: Hello.
- Homer: Alright, pal. Whered you get the sugar for that tea?
- Tea-Drinking Man: I nicked it when you let your guard down for that split second… and Id do it again.
- [sips and walks away]
- Tea-Drinking Man: Goodbye.
- Homer: You see, Marge? You see?
- Homer: Bart, if foodstuffs should touch the ground, said foodstuffs shall be turned over to the village idiot. Since I dont see him around, start shoveling.
- Homer: And you didnt think Id make any money. I found a *dollar* while I was waiting for the bus!
- Marge: While you were out *earning* that dollar, you lost *forty* dollars by not going to work. The plant called and said if you dont come in tomorrow, dont bother coming in Monday.
- Homer: Woo-hoo! A four-day weekend!
