"If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right". I just heard of the first sentence, but actually the second one is as significant as the first one. I know of it from Steve Jobs(1955-),the cofounder of Apple Computer.
Sometimes initiating situations independently is better than doing that with some together.(You can never ensure he is loyal to you.)And a bit is better than nothing.Half a loaf is better than no bread.
