Believe passionately in what you do, and never knowingly compromise your standards and values. Act like a true professional, aiming for true excellence, and the money will follow.

The noble path does win but only if you are prepared to make the investment over a long period of time.

Professional is not a label you give yourself - it's a description you hope others will apply to you.

Stop teaching students that they are the best and the brightest.

I will accept your influence, guidance and direction if (and only if) I believe that you and I share similar goals.

A true professional feels no pressure to run up a client's bill, knowing that any reduction in revenues caused by being efficient will be more than recompensed by the reputation earned for being honest and trustworthy.

When did you feel most fulfilled? When did you impress yourself, or otherwise feel most proud of yourself?
