To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Know or listen to those who know.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
'Strictly Business' is about a young black man who is learning about himself, and that applies to a lot of young black men, those who are trying to find jobs. This film gives them a good look at that situation.
