  4. Start at the top then work your way up.

  7. If you can't beat them, join them, then beat them.
  8. If it's worth doing it's got to be down right now.
  9. If you can't win, change the rules.
  10. If you can't change the rules, then ignore them.

  12. When faced without a challenge, make one.
  13. "No" simply means begin again at one level higher.

  15. Bureaucracy is a challenge to be conquered with a righteous attitude, a tolerance for stupidity, and a bulldozer when necessary.
  16. When in doubt THINK!
  17. Patience is a virtue but persistence to the point of success is a blessing.
  18. The squeaky wheel gets replaced.
  19. The faster you move, the slower time passes, the longer you live.
