The art of calling faith in yourself "Self-Esteem" while calling it "conceit" when you see it in others.(cont.)
Priorities

Recovery
Time heals all wounds. But it usually leaves a pretty big scar.(cont.)
Regret
It hurts to admit when you make mistakes - but when they're big enough, the pain only lasts a second.(cont.)
Retirement
Because you've given so much of yourself to the company that you don't have anything left we can use.(cont.)
Risks
If you never try anything new, you'll miss out on many of life's great disappointments.(cont.)
The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood. And Robert Frost took the one less traveled. Of course, he also heckled his rivals and started fires to disrupt their poetry readings. But that makes for a terrible motivational poster. Unless you're a petty pyromaniac. In which case, here you go.(cont.)

About Us
- It began with a dream. A dream of the perfectly-realized American company.
  
  A company that would create dissatisfied customers in the process of exploiting demoralized employees while selling overpriced and ineffective products to remediate the problems caused by the very process itself.
  
  And now the dream has come true. As nightmares so often do.
