Do you have the skills to pay the bills? Maybe you do. Or maybe you don't. But, either way, one thing is for certain. If you tell someone you have skills and you misrepresent what you can do, it's spells a recipe for trouble.

Respect them. And be grateful for the fact that you are here on this earth and for the things that you have. That is the barometer of true success.
