A mentor of mine from years back always used to say '...You have to be Flexible and Versatile...".
We used to laugh at him all the time because that was his answer to everything.
Another one he always used "...Don't forget the basics...".
Again, his reply to complex problems. He laughed at himself for all his sayings too, and we would jokingly call him Mr. Motto.
Years later, I have not seen him, but his words come back to me almost every day. There was truth to his Words, in how you think and how you act out.

Haven't forgotten you old friend!
