Monkey Business

[Pancakes]

Entries' 3&4 analysis:
As demonstrated by Hans in Entry 3, he was forced to pick up a quick decision that could mean for him either staying alive - getting money, or simply staying in the same old stinky state he was at, ain't an option right?

So as we said earlier - R e a l i z a t i o n. You will change your life to the better - make quick calls and make them good, shot twice just to make sure, and be faster to think than your shots themselves.

Survival. Survival is a key-point after the realization. Sure realization is nice, but words are one thing while deeds are anther - and if you wish to survive executing the "deeds" part, learning how-to is quite important.

So, how to survive in this cold, dark, universe?
First - be modest. Don't be over modest so it will be seemingly that you are a snob, but be modest. Modesty will keep you out of trouble, boasting around a corsair bar how much money you have won't get you good, business partners will probably appreciate you better and you will generally come from a position of knowing more than your enemies does about you.

Second - Don't tell more than you are required to. You can never know who's listening, you could tell about the corsair daughter you've made love to without knowing the Gaian nearby at Trafalgar knows her father.

Third - When opportunity shows up - grab it by the tale and don't let go! There will be crucial parts that seizing the opportunity or not will mean life or death.

Forth - Don't ever look back. Regrets are good for nothing. They are a total waste of your time (and times equals money), when you make a mistake - suit up and get ready for the next challenge!
