"If you want something well done you'd better do it yourself"

No matter what there's always a tradeoff between having something in life the way you like it with lots of effort or rely on somebody else. But when you rely on other people they'll do stuff the way _they_ like.

It's both a motto that encourages me to try new things and invest time doing them but also to respect other people's work and point of views.

"Whatever works."

Not in a dismissive way like a statement of idle non-preference, but rather as a hyper-pragmatic statement along the lines of ''doesn't matter how weird/silly the solution, if it solves something important, then it is valuable"
