“Measure twice, cut fucking once.”

“It’s not the work you do that matters most, but what the work does for you. The craft you’re completing is a stable, fulfilling future. The payment you’re earning is confidence and respectability. You are the end product. You are the investment. You are the final reward. Living well takes practice, it takes careful consideration.

When conscious effort to do anything the right way, you’ll do everything a little better.”
