- Make a list of the things you want to do before you die. Be as open to your heart as you possibly can. Now, throw that ridiculous piece of trash away and get your ass to work. The ball is over, Cinderella.
- Contrary to what you may have heard about business, you should not think outside the box. You should get your green-as-grass self back in the box and don’t come out unless it’s to bring me some hot coffee and do my work so I can take credit for it. Welcome to the working world, Rookie.

Sometimes I feel like I should start a new blogging category called “entitlement.”
