I follow three rules: Do the right thing, do the best you can, and always show people you care. You’ve got to make a sincere attempt to have the right goals to begin with, then go after them with appropriate effort, and remember that you can’t really achieve anything great without the help of others.

I'm not a disciplinarian. I simply enforce other people's decisions.

Do right. Do your best. Treat others as you want to be treated.
