A few months following the Cuban Revolution, while Castro was delivering one of his typical hours-long speeches, he turned to one of his most loyal Commandantes, Camilo Cienfuegos, and asked "am I doing all right, Camilo?" His response, "you're doing fine, Fidel" was cheered by the crowd and became the party's slogan.
