“You’re young, you will get your recognition. And honestly, it is absolutely ridiculous to be two years in your career and counting your ideas. Everything to you is an opportunity. And you should be thanking me every morning when you wake up along with Jesus for giving you another day.”
— Don Draper to Peggy Olsen | Mad Men Season 4 Episode 7 “The Suitcase”
