The buck stops here.
I never did give anybody hell. I just told the truth and they thought it was hell. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties. It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit. |
