I will…
• Always do whatever it takes to help kids succeed and seek to maximize the opportunities to make someone else's day better and never pass up an opportunity to help someone.
• Celebrate the diversity and value the perspectives of others. I will seek to always be empathetic and strive to view situations from multiple perspectives.
• Believe you can't live without an eraser and not be afraid to say “I made a mistake, I don’t know or I need help.“ I will always be able to say I am sorry.
• Believe my success is connected, and most of the time attributed to the success of others.
• Remember when working with others, if they can't walk on water then I will freeze the lake.
• View challenges as wrapped in a film of pure gold and not focus on the obstacles but on the goal.
• Not say, “I don’t have time,” when I have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa, and Michelangelo.
• Pray for those near me, around me and for those I have not yet met.
• Place priority at always leading by example and seeking the newest skills and technologies available. Then I will share them!
• Always remember how I felt when I first saw my wife.
• Embrace every day for the possibilities it holds.
• Believe Jay-Z when he said that, “Difficult takes a day and impossible takes a week.” I will not be overwhelmed by the task ahead of me.
• Ask probing questions to get to the root of every issue before I act. I will remind myself to enjoy the process and not always seek the product.
• Support those who need supported, celebrate those that need celebrating, and challenge those that need challenged.
• Not be afraid to take risks: I will skydive and snorkel, but only if necessary! If I’m going after Moby Dick, I will bring the tartar sauce.
