The more you pursue a certain matter, the more it will retreat from view. Leave it alone and focus on something else for a while. Said matter will materialize looking for you soon enough.
You can’t dictate the time and place when asking someone for a favor. Take what you can get and be thankful for it. This person won’t disappoint.
In your efforts to please, you may be doing too much. Relax. The best job is the one that’s done expertly rather than frenetically.
It’s not easy being saddled with a team of stubborn mules. Nevertheless, it’s up to you to get them to move whether by carrot or by stick.
You won’t back away from a fight which only goes to show that sometimes pride really is a good thing. It makes you care more when others care less.
The mind goes where it will today. You may not know why you’re so obsessed with a trivial matter, but let it run its course.
