Lee Child

In other words, if you really, really buckle down today, and you get the intelligence, the planning, and the execution each a hundred percent exactly correct, then you are bound to prevail.” “Sounds empowering.” “It’s the army. What they really mean is, if you fail today, it’s completely your own fault.”
Lee Child, Blue Moon

Indeed, the cash-transfer programs seemed to boost the amount that men worked, in some cases.”
