Embrace these cliches as guides to daily work behavior. Cliches aren't overused and mundane sayings. They are foundations of philosophy and behavior that we should embrace and remind ourselves of every day. In doing so, we will stop amidst the frustration, anger, or disappointment and find a suitable path to personal, team, and organizational success.
