Be true to the game, because the game will be true to you. If you try to shortcut the game, then the game will shortcut you. If you put forth the effort, good things will be bestowed upon you. That's truly about the game, and in some ways that's about life too.

‐‐ Dirk Benedict
Be very nervous of the shaky hands.

‐‐ Peter McWilliams
Be willing to get fired for a good idea.

Be willing to share all of who you are. So many of us want a partner, but we're not willing to show all of us.
‐‐ Iyanla Vanzant
Be willing to shed parts of your previous life. For example, in our 20s, we wear a mask; we pretend we know more than we do. We must be willing, as we get older, to shed cocktail party phoniness and admit, 'I am who I am.'
‐‐ Gail Sheehy
Be willing to trust your instincts, especially if you cannot find answers elsewhere.
‐‐ Brian Koslow

In time, it's possible that your company will stand out from the crowd, and you'll be successful.
