A couple pieces of driving advice that have stuck with me:
When you get frustrated and you're about to honk your horn, imagine your grandmother is the other driver ~ my father Never, ever, ever run over a piece of debris, no matter how innocent it looks. ~ my cousin

Here's one from my all time favorite old school cop show, those 60's police drama's were the best...
Criminal: You made a big mistake cop, and I'm not gonna pay for it. Joe Friday: What are you going to do pal, use a credit card? Love it

If you don't do it excellently, then don't do it at all. Because if it's not excellent it won't be profitable or fun and if you're not in the business for fun or profit then what the he// are you doing there at all?

One that I always gave the rookies- Don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see.

From the film "Rushmore."
Max Fischer: I like your nurse's uniform, guy. Dr. Peter Flynn: These are O.R. scrubs. Max Fischer: Oh, are they?

Entrepreneurship is living a few years of your life like most people won't, so that you can spend the rest of your life like most people can't.
