There is only one kind of failure I cannot tolerate: the failure to risk failure.

The rules of war and business are the same. Victory and success are the same. In one it's life and/or death in the other it is success or failure. There really is little room for compromise of "gray matter".

What drives me? In every mission I'm on, the thing that drives me most is the desire to find my limits-and extend them.

For the past weeks I'd been reacting. That was no way to win. To win, you take the initiative. You instigate the action. You make the opponent react to you.

Pain was their body's way of telling them that they'd pushed themselves to their limits - which was exactly where they were supposed to be.

Shoot first and ask questions not at all

Call it a character flaw -- when under attack, I counter attack. Always.
