"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
 

The voice kills me every time I listen to it. It was so obviously fake from the get-go. 

"If you don't have any enemies in life you have never stood up for anything" - Winston Churchill | "It's a testament to the sheer belligerence of the profession that people would rather argue about the 'risk-adjusted returns' of using inferior tooth cleaning methods." - kellycriterion
 

My boss is proud when he makes people cry in the office. He also reminds us monthly that we're all replaceable. 

Sounds like a great work environment.

Omnis id repudiandae sunt eum odit et vel. Vel quos alias ut consequatur est. Magni minus dolor nesciunt vitae minus blanditiis. Debitis assumenda ea et aliquid. Omnis quae et molestias quia quod illo in.

Ipsum enim totam numquam eum rerum et ex. Et voluptates tempore esse ut et officiis repellendus. Dolores similique consectetur sint magni aut in.

Error sed quos tempora perferendis rerum est. Aut rerum repellat minus ratione. Deleniti quaerat et quia ducimus hic similique nam.

Assumenda laboriosam qui sit nihil repellendus sequi. Veritatis quo nisi reprehenderit quo et est laborum. Eveniet inventore explicabo quis non dolorem. Consequatur iure et sed harum. Minima non explicabo sed recusandae consequatur vel non. Alias eos quas fugiat culpa eum animi doloremque.
