Running hard I can get some easy points, and I'm definitely going to keep doing that.
I don’t do coupons or Reeboks. Life is too short to half-step.
In real life, it is the hare who wins. Every time. Look around you. And in any case it is my contention that Aesop was writing for the tortoise market. Hares have no time to read. They are too busy winning the game.
I know I've cut corners in every single fight I've had because I've used my ability to get through.
The most dangerous thing in the world is to try to leap a chasm in two jumps.
I was working for a chef a long time ago who told me to not skip steps or be in a hurry. Success in a kitchen is more like a marathon and less like a sprint. Rising up the ranks too quickly isn't necessarily a good thing. This advice was from a guy who was sorry he had done that and didn't want me to do the same.
Natural human instinct, reaction, whatever, is if you're perfect, you're going to try to skate by and get by, get away with things the easiest way possible.
Never cut corners, or accept anything that's second-rate.
I have no problem with cheating. Whatever you can get away with.
But human nature dictates that there will always be cheaters. That's inevitable. Where there's money involved and glory, there are going to be people that cheat, and there will always be ways to cheat.
Everybody knows that people cheat, but I don't.
Grandma cheated whenever she could. She cheated because it was a much more scientific and surer way of winning than trusting to luck.
I realize that I'm generalizing here, but as is often the case when I generalize, I don't care.
Win any way you can as long as you can get away with it.
Some people would do anything just to get a break; that's where the bad guys get you.
I stuck with that size because I could bend the strings so well, and somewhere along the line I must have gotten it into my mind that I had small hands, so I was thinking I'd never be able to play a full-scale guitar, but I also felt like I was cheating or cutting corners.
A guy who is walking out of his crease purposefully because he wants to take advantage is wrong.
