everything you need to know – you

need to be self-motivated

even when nobody is giving you credit

or “points”

• This is true for life

• Breathe

• Allow me to help – I will push and

challenge you and I will help you

• Have fun and laugh

• Take a step back and look at the

bigger picture

completing it
