Important Things

"Good morning, Cadets."

"Don't bring me back what I WANT. Bring me what I NEED. Bring me news about stuff I don't even KNOW about. The best solution isn't what I SAY, it's just the BEST. BRING ME THE BEST."

"Are you going to be legendary?"

"Greet all people with humility and sincerity. You'd be astonished who will help you if you're humble and sincere."

"A lot of men think with their dicks. Some men think with their heads. Only a very few men think with their hearts."

"I seen a lot. I ain't never seen a man who won't come to your back if you've helped him before. It takes a lot for a man to forget you that way."

"All people are people. They're just that. There's no one you can't talk to."

"Be live. Be in person. An e-mail can be ignored, as can a phone call. Be a problem, right in front of someone. Be a big, fat, live, smiling problem. Make it someone's best option just to deal with you. Make it their own best interest to help you. Cause once they help you- you'll leave them alone, won't you?"

"No one's perfect. But excellence- my god, isn't that real? Can't you be that? An excellent mom, an excellent son, an excellent person ... can't you be any one of those?"

[smelling of grease, sweat] ... "I'm home."

"Nine-nine-point-one-five."
