It wastes my time and yours. fam sure tocatch you in the end. 2) Watch your work and not the clock. A long day's work makes a long day short, anda short day's work makes my face long. 3) Give me more than | expect, and I will pay you more than you expect.. I can afford to increase your.pay if you increase my profits. 4) Keep out of debt. You cwe so much fo yourself that you cannot afford to owe anybody else. 5) Dishonesty is never an accident. 6).
