I've got to confess I'm a pragmatic optimist myself.
Do more than you are being paid to do, and you'll eventually be paid more for what you do.
If you aim at nothing, you'll hit it every time.
Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have twenty-four hour days.
Isn't it amazing how much stuff we get done the day before vacation?
Only men of character are trusted.
