Yeah, learn how to spell you moron.

^ that what you had in mind?

I was actually expecting something a bit more fluid, something that would stick with me for a while.

Ok, how about this:

Always be practicing, always be closing, always take every shot. Chance favors the prepared man, and even if you don't get your first choice of things, you'll still be better off than if you'd sat around waiting for life to just "happen" in your favor. Get hungry, get focused, get going.

^ that better?

Get busy living
 

That's sort of true. But timing is a critical factor. This is probably the worst hiring market of the last... pick a number, but several decades (outside of perhaps late 2008 / early 2009, but you could argue today is just an extension of the same thing). You can be a strong candidate and simply be on the wrong side of a secular contraction in financial services. Of course, the best candidates will always find employment, but many who are merely "very good" might be out of luck.

No, that's what people who aren't fucking stupid and/or 12 years old say.
