About This Quote

When people wear suits, they are thinking about other things than what they are doing. They are not concentrating on their work, they are just paying attention to details that are not important. The best people are the ones who do not care about what they are doing. The best people are the ones who are bare-assed, without any thinking about what they are doing.
