Be Be understanding to your enemies.

Be loyal to your friends. Be strong enough to face the world

everything alone. Be generous to those who need your help.

Be frugle with what you need yourself. Be wise enough to know that you do not

know everything. Be foolish enough to believe in miracles.

Be willing to share your joys. Be willing to share the sorrows of others. Be a leader when you see a path others

have missed. Be a follower when you are shrouded by

who succeeds. Be the last to criticize a colleague who

fails. Be sure where your next step will fall, so

that you will not stumble.

Be sure of your final destination, in case you are going the wrong way.
