The Rules:

#1 rule

Take care yourself.  No one is going to do it for you and if you don’t do it you can’t take care yourself.  Physical / Mental / Spiritual – Balance…exercise your body, mind, spirit – equally.

#2 rule

Take care your love ones.  Need to do #1 rule to do #2 rule.

Effective Timely Communication

Effective, make sure the person(s) you are communicating to understand your message – no sense communicate a message that your audience does not understand. Timely, make sure that your message gets to person(s) when it is needed, not after it is needed.  Communication = Message, make sure it is understandable and concise.

Time

Is a commodity, that you cannot make more off.  Therefore, don’t waste it, by making careless mistakes.  Mistakes cost time, so never assume and always ask questions regarding the task at hand.   “There are no Stupid Questions – Only Stupid Answers:”  - So always ask…

Teamwork

We are a team, always play your position (job) first, then help your teammates (co-workers). There are no “I’s” in team (company) and only teammates (co-workers) here – no individuals (primadonna).  They are all kicked off the team (company).

Fair, Honest, Reliable, & Consistent

Fair and Honest to yourself, don’t lie to yourself or cheat yourself as to how you are doing accordance to standards and rules.  Reliable and Consistent to others, make sure “You do as you say” to those that count on you and can count on you regularly.

Common Courtesy

Do to others as you would like others to do to you.  Leave things as you found them or in better condition.  Push in your chair, look at the person when being spoke too,…… The words, “Please, Thank you, Good Morning, Good Evening” are important.

KISS NIKE

“Keep It Simple Stupid & Just Do It”.  Life is already difficult, keep things simple and just do it.

Only Doing or Not Doing

There is only “Doing” or “Not Doing” the task.  There is nothing in between Doing or Not Doing……
