Golden Rule: "Those who have the gold make the rules"
I didn't know the Golden rule until I read an article. This rule is applicable to many circumstances. For example, a landlord can impose rules to the people who live in his house.
Do you have any gold ? If yes, start making rules. Otherwise, follow the rules :).
Idioms: carrot and stick
Carrot and stick (also "carrot or stick") is an idiom that refers to a policy of offering a combination of rewards and punishment to induce behavior

A nice saying of Mahatma Gandhi
Last week I read an article which had quoted a saying of Mahatma Gandhi, a famous Indian politician. The apothegm was: "You may never know what results come of your action, but if you do nothing, there will be no result".
The adage is so simple but carries much meaning. It is true that we may or may not know the outcomes of our actions. As an example, we won't know what benefits we get if we invest to a firm unless we really achieve them. If we don't invest to it, what do we expect? Of course no benefit! The results provide feedbacks of our actions and thus progress can be made. In our example, based on the results of the investement i.e. revenues, we can think of investing to similar firms. This saying, therefore, encourages people not to fear with taking risks. The more you fear the lesser you accelerate !
