"Have convictions. Be friendly. Stick to your beliefs as they stick to theirs. Work as hard as they do."

Akiroq Brost

"A good work ethic is not so much a concern for hard work but rather one for responsibility. There have been a great many men and women who have in fact used work or hustle or selfish ambition as an escape from real responsibility, an escape from purpose. In matters such as these, the hard worker is just as dysfunctional as the sloth."
