Then the old man's face hardened. What about you young man? he asked flatly. Would you like to get what you deserve? Jones let that question hang in the air for a moment, then sighed, shook his head, and said Me? I surely don't want what I deserve. I'm hoping for mercy, not justice.

Little things do matter. Sometimes, little things matter the most. Everybody pays a lot of attention to big things, but nobody seems to understand that big things are almost always made up of little things. When you ignore little things, they often turn into big things that have become a lot harder to handle.

Seek wisdom. Wisdom waits to be gathered. She cannot be bartered or sold. She is a fight for the diligent. And only the diligent will find her. The lazy man - the stupid man - never even looks. Though wisdom is available to many, she is found by few. Seek wisdom. Find her, and you will find success and contentment.
