When the law is on your side, pound the law; when the facts are on your side, pound the facts; when neither are on your side, pound the puss.

You can't change the people around you but can change the people around you.

#1. Wear a condom when you have sex. Because if she will frick you, she will frick anyone. Ouch dad.

#2. You can be rich or you can be famous. But rarely both.

Promise these four things to any boss and deliver and you will do great.

1. Hey boss, I will make YOU look great to YOUR boss.

2. Don't lie.

3. Don't steal.

4. No surprises.

Questions are fine, but first try to take a stab at it.

People make mistakes, and that's ok, but make sure I am the first to know when you do.

Impress the boardroom, not the barroom.

People (employees) don't do what's expected, they do what's inspected.

The only person you can change is yourself, but you can fire a subordinate or quit a boss.

Your company will never love you at 5 pm like your kids will. So don’t ever choose an employer over family. You only get those years once.

Yep, if you haven't failed, you're not competing or stretching yourself.
Confidence doesn't come solely from success. It comes from knowing how to overcome failures.
