Pilots, to a large degree, are like salesmen. They have to be confident to be good at their jobs. They have to practice relentlessly and plan out all the scenarios of the things that could happen when they're out there. Nothing is more important than preparation. They are also mighty competitive, both as individuals and as squadrons.

Success is when reality catches up to your imagination.

Bad leaders care about who is right. Good leaders care about what is right

Average companies give their people something to work on. The most innovative organizations give their people something to work toward.

Believing that your competition is stronger and better than you pushes you to better yourselves.

Leadership is not a rank, it's a choice.

Your work is your own private megaphone to tell the world what you believe.
