Let your family, staff, and friends know that you're still the same person, despite all the publicity and notoriety that accompanies your position.

The way to do well is to do well.

Presidential leadership needn't always cost money. Look for low- and no-cost options. They can be surprisingly effective.

The success of an organization will depend on the people you surround yourself with.

The United States isn't going to do anything that it's not capable of doing. And if we do something, we'll be capable of doing it.

We'll have to deal with the networks. One of the ways to do that is to drain the swamp they live in. And that means dealing not only with the terrorists, but those who harbor terrorists. This will take a long, sustained effort. It will require the support of the American people as well as our friends and allies around the world.

Be able to resign. It will improve your value to the President and do wonders for your performance.
