Forget who it was, one of those short term projects from long ago. The guy was sharp, worked hard, blew his own horn a bit too much to suit me. Sincerely trying to be helpful I suggested he tone it down a bit. He said:

"There are other people who talk bad about me, why should I help them?"

I had to admit his view made more sense than mine and I was never handicapped by modesty, false or otherwise, after that!

This is the lesson of the hustle. Don't chase your customers away. As Fast Eddie told Vincent ... "No runs over five balls, they're watching you."
