### Tradition

Just because you've always done it that way doesn't mean it's not incredibly stupid.

### Get to Work

You aren't being paid to believe in the power of your dreams.

### Believe in Yourself

Because the rest of us think you're an idiot.

### Perseverance

The courage to ignore the obvious wisdom of turning back.

### Foresight

Those who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those busy proving them right.

### Social Media

We bring the people of the world together so you can watch them tear each other apart.

### Baby Steps

By doing just a little bit every day, you can gradually let the job completely overwhelm you.

### Self-Confidence

What kids will need to carry them through all the failures they'll experience because they weren't taught competence instead.

### Goals

There's nothing standing between you and them except for a total lack of talent and a complete failure of will.

### Consistency

Is only a virtue if you're not a screwup.

### Hope

May not be warranted at this point.

### Irresponsibility

No single raindrop believes it is to blame for the flood.

### Mediocrity

It takes a lot less time and most people won't notice the difference until it's too late.

### Creativity

Helps artists die young, miserable and penniless so their art can have meaning to the old, satisfied and obscenely rich.

### Failure

When your best just isn't good enough.

### Excuses

If you keep asking others to give you the benefit of the doubt, they'll eventually start to doubt your benefit.

### Incompetence

When you honestly think you can compensate for a lack of skill just by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.

### Indecision

The mark of the leader is the ability to take decisions. The mark of the survivor is knowing when not to.

### Losing

If at first you don't succeed, losing may be your style.

### Overconfidence

Before you attempt to beat the odds, be sure you could survive the odds beating you.

### Recognition

The more you reward the most trivial of achievements, the more you produce the most trivial people.
