COT:
Brazilian spoke about the importance of pursuing your enemy be it yourself, your ego, a vice, a competitor or a supervisor. Playing defense, accepting the status quo and hoping for the best will not lead to success. Every man has to pursue and defeat his enemy. Brazilian then effortlessly slipped into character and shared the following excerpt as if he were General George S. Patton himself:
“I don’t want to get any messages saying. “I am holding my position.” We are not holding a goddamned thing. Let the Germans do that. We are advancing constantly and we are not interested in holding onto anything, except the enemy’s balls. We are going to twist his balls and kick the living shit out of him all of the time. Our basic plan of operation is to advance and to keep on advancing regardless of whether we have to go over, under or through our enemy.”
Aye!
