Once is never, twice is always.

German quote from an old podcast: Konsequenz heißt auch Holzwege zuende gehen.

Rough translation: Being consequent means also following the wrong path to the end.

It’s used for people or organisations that tend to stick to a decision to the end, even if that decision was obviously flawed. E.g. sticking to extremely stick to a regulation even if it’s outdated/was dumb from the beginning. Corporate password policies are a good example.

“What I’m about to tell you is top secret, a conspiracy bigger than all of us. There’s a powerful group of people out there that are secretly running the world. I’m talking about the guys no one knows about, the guys that are invisible. The top 1% of the top 1%, the guys that play God without permission.”

In 20 years, the only ones to remember all the hard work and long hours are your children.

Not my whole life but ever since I learned it twenty years ago in the army. “Slow is smooth, smooth is fast”. It’s a saying that means to learn things carefully, slowly, and methodically. When you are learning like this speed will follow as a natural progression. So if you learn something slowly and smoothly it will translate into being quick and doing it correctly. I have applied this to all sorts of different things in life and it has never failed me.

You brush at night to keep your teeth.

You brush in the morning to keep your friends.

“Everything will be forgotten and nothing will be repaired”, from Milan Kundera.

“Be Better”, a college professor/mentor always aid that to me. Whenever I think about taking the easy way or the shortest way I just say “Be Better” and then do the right thing.

When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who’s going to die! You don’t know whose children are going to scream and burn! How many hearts will be broken! How many lives shattered! How much blood will spill until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: Sit — down — and — talk!

It doesn’t matter how good they look; someone, somewhere, is tired of putting up with their shit.

When I die, bury me upside-down so everyone can kiss my ass goodbye.
