So begins the day,
Solid, chill, and gray,
But my heart will wake
Happy for your sake;
No more tossed and wild,
Singing like a child,
Quiet as a flower
In this first gray hour.So my heart will wake
— Frances Darwin Cornford
Happy, for your sake.
Punctuality is the soul of business.
— Proverb
The time spent on any item of the agenda will be in inverse proportion to the sum [of money] involved.

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.It matters not how strait the gate,
— William Ernest Henley
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
The effect of one good-hearted person is incalculable.
— OscarArias
The fundamental law of power is that it is situational, multifaceted, dynamic, and perishable.
Power is without a doubt situational, a person who is very politically powerful, but having no wilderness knowledge or skills, find themselves alone in the middle will have less ability to save themselves, than an experienced woodsman.
Power has many attributes (social influence, mental reference, innate ability, and situation), which aggregate to provide the total of your power at in given time and in any given situation
As a person’s situation changes, their ability to influence the situation can be increased, decreased, and/or lost. Also, facets of power are not static but are morphed by change.
A person can, through inaction, lose the ability to influence a situation forever.
