Humans are allergic to change. They love to say, 'We've always done it this way.' I try to fight that. That's why I have a clock on my wall that runs counter-clockwise.

I need something to compare this to. Could I please have a microsecond?

At any given moment, there is always a line representing what your boss will believe. If you step over it, you will not get your budget. Go as close to that line as you can.

I will not take what you need to give me. I will take what you want to give me.

If it's a good idea, go ahead and do it. It is much easier to apologise than it is to get permission.
