Choice

The Old Man: We all make our choices in life, the hard thing to do is live with them.

~ The Words (2012)

Obsession

Obsess over your customers and not your competitors. Watch your competitors, learn from them, see the things that they were doing for customers and copy those things as much as you can. But don't obsess over them.
~ Adapted from Robert Spector's Amazon.com: Get Big Fast

Innocent

The guilty runs away when the cops chase her. The innocent face them without fear for she has nothing to hide.

Hardly Pressed

Bent but not broken,
Rocked but not shaken,
Hated but not bittered,
Cornered but not feared.

Money

One of my favorite part from Chairman Ben Bernanke's Ten Suggestion for Princeton grads. 

Money is a means, not an end. A career decision based only on money and not on love of the work or a desire to make a difference is a recipe for unhappiness.
