Whatever gets you in the game -- Not everyone is going to like you -- Not everyone is going to like me -- The person who hires you is your number one stockholder -- The best gift you can give a stranger is an audience -- Up beats down! -- Ask! -- Don't call just when you need something -- People don't mind being used; they mind being discarded -- Grin when you fight -- It's not crowded at the top -- No one's ever late for an execution -- Nobody wants a level playing field -- Fire when ready -- Attack from a defensive position -- Don't pick on someone your own size -- Rites of passage -- Keep good company -- Lowball! -- When in doubt, put it out -- You only get one reputation -- Aim high -- Speak up! -- The bug -- Where ever you go, that's where you're going to be.
