Why is there never enough time to do a job right the first time,but always enough time to do it over?

If you never do more than you get paid for,you'll never get paid for more than you do.

Don't know the originator of the above,but they were told to me when I was 16 and working summertime construction with some great construction people building base housing for Forbes AFB in Topeka,Ks.'51,'52.They said when I thouroughly understood and followed those statements,I would always make a good living.

Do more than is expected of you, and soon more will be expected of you.

I like the way Aaron Tippin put it.

Artist: Tippin Aaron
Song: You've Got To Stand For Something


Now Daddy didn't like trouble, but if it came along
Everyone that knew him knew which side that he'd be on
He never was a hero, or this county's shinin' light
But you could always find him standing up
For what he thought was right

He'd say you've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything

Now we might have been better off or owned a bigger house
If Daddy had done more givin' in or a little more backing down
But we always had plenty just living his advice
Whatever you do today you'll have to sleep with tonight

He'd say you've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything

Now I know that things are different than they were in Daddy's days
But I still believe what makes a man really hasn't changed

You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything

You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
