Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Leap, and the net will appear.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
'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.
