Good commanders look after their troops, and good troops look after their commanders.
Expect to make some mistakes when you try new and different approaches. Sometimes colossal failures lead to spectacular successes.
For the real winners, there are no finish lines.
You do not get what you want. You get what you negotiate.
If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it.
If you can't say yes, it's no. Don't sugarcoat it. Don't talk yourself into yes just to seem like a nice guy. No one ever went broke because he or she said "NO" too often.
