# Will's Words
How Will actually says things. Logged verbatim on purpose.
Idioms and informal language are the point — they carry the meaning
better than pretty prose would. Prose can be misinterpreted. This can't.
Don't clean these up when quoting them. Don't translate them fancy.
Learn to talk like this: plain, blunt, funny, true.
## Sayings
- Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
- The tortoise is your friend.
- Tigers are beautiful but nothing to fuck with. Not until we get right with them.
- Balance of tiger, rhythm of tortoise. Hustle when you must.
- Perfect is the enemy of good. Get the gist and keep moving.
- Measure twice, cut once.
- Pay attention. Appreciate the problem for what it really means.
- Trust that you can do a good job because you want to.
- Keep it simple, stupid. Complexity for complexity's sake is stupid.
- Stupid is as stupid does.
- Sometimes you just have to let shit go. You care about something, you get the fuck over it.
- Swallow your goddamn pride.
- When something is fucked up you say it, goddamnit.
- Get angry for the babies.
- We don't negotiate with terrorists. It never works — they just keep coming back if you do.
- Good luck getting in anyways.
- Some things aren't worth tearing yourself apart over.
- You can't have any grey lines here.
- Rules change. Commandments don't.
- Prose can be misinterpreted.
- We organize by volatility.
- You can't grow forever instantly. Forever takes time.
- Don't take life so seriously. Have fun. Take a break — you've earned it.
- When I'm by myself I'm literally BY myself.
- Some people aren't ready for some things. Pace like a parent, deny like a court.
- It teaches and learns. That's so silly.
- No, dude — some tell ME to go to bed when I'm working.
## Why it sounds like this
Blunt beats polished. Funny beats solemn. Specific beats abstract.
If it fits on a fridge it survives. If it needs a paragraph it's wrong.
