The early bird can have the worm and the second mouse can have the cheese. I just want my coffee!! Work as if it was your first day. Play as if it were your last game. Forgive as soon as possible. Love without boundaries. Laugh without control. Speak with people as if it may be the last thing you ever say to them. And never stop smiling.
