Be Whole:
Focusing on your true passion allows you to be whole across all your
domains
Adapt innovatively to find solutions to setbacks
Don’t let setbacks stand in the way of your goals
When experiencing changes in your situation think of new ways to
incorporate your passions
Seek support and bring others along with you
The power of the team surpasses the power of the individuals that make it
up
Be humble in your successes, and credit those who helped you achieve
them
