Do It Well

In whatever you do, do it well.
When you make the effort, give your best to it.
You cannot cheat life, so don't bother trying.
If you compromise your integrity, it will quickly drain away and you'll always regret the loss.
When you do what you do, do what is right.
Even though you think no one will ever know, you will always know.
You will know, and that makes all the difference.
For real confidence comes from a job well done, and confidence is worth more than gold.
It doesn't have to be perfect, though the closer you can get, the better.
What you must always do, in whatever you do, is your best.
The quality of what you experience in life depends on the quality of what you give to life.
Make it good, make it right, make it honest, and add real, lasting value to your world.
