OW and UP

The lacquerware I bought from HCMC were a great bargain. A jewellery box for only 80,000dong. But wifey just found out that it's grossly full of defects

Most of us have been overseas to buy some souvenir, only to discover that while it's cheap, the workmanship is poor. Only quality people produce quality work.

When it comes to salary, an overwhelming majority of people feel they are overworked and unperpaid: OW and UP

And since many people feel they should be paid much more, the tendency is to produce Minimum Acceptable instead of aiming for Maximum Possible. But quality people give a quality performance. That's what I do. Count on me for quality. No discounts. Regardless of the actual pay.
