I think WCW will kill any kind of joy in your life. I think I started hating money.

I think the mental preparation isn't something that you can work on in one large sum.

Robert Whittaker

If you look to lead, invest at least 40% of your time managing yourself - your ethics, character, principles, purpose, motivation, and conduct. Invest at least 30% managing those with authority over you, and 15% managing your peers.
