1. Sometimes good guys gotta do bad things to make the bad guys pay.
2. It’s not bragging if it’s true.
3. What are your choices when someone puts a gun to your head? You take the gun, or you pull out a bigger one. Or, you call their bluff. Or, you do any one of a hundred and forty six other things.
4. They think you care, they’ll walk all over you.
5. The ends don’t justify the means until it’s your ass on the line.

11. That’s the difference between you and me, you wanna lose small, I wanna win big!

Being excellent at one thing will help you to become excellent at other things. Check out the article at business insider. It’s a fantastic message.
