A helmeted bearded warrior (from LOTR? Theoden?) with test that says “Pick your battles.” 
“Pick fewer battles than that.”

fuiru X "One of my favourite Steve Jobs stories was the time the engineers working on the iPod brought their finished prototype to him in his office. He said it was too big, they needed to make it smaller. They said it was as small as they could make it, it couldn't be made any smaller. So he took the prototype over to his aquarium and dropped it in. The iPod sank to the bottom, and as it did, tiny little bubbles came out. 'See those bubbles,' he asked. 'They're air inside the iPod. Make it smaller.' "Another story about Steve Jobs was when they brought the prototype for the iPad 2 to his office. The engineers told him it was faster than the first iPad. He took it over to his aquarium and dropped it in. 'Look how slowly it sank,' he told them. 'Make it faster.' "One time a newly hired intern had been sent out to get Steve a sandwich.

Thank you, @pnjaban and team.
