When faced without a challenge, make one. If it's worth doing, it's got to be done right now. If you can't change the rules, then ignore them. If you can't bet them, join them, then beat them. Bureaucracy is a challenge to be conquered with a righteous attitude, a tolerance for stupidity, and a bulldozer when necessary.
Patience is a virtue, but persistence to the point of success is a blessing.
The faster you move, the slower time passes, the longer you live.
