This is a big part of my personal manifesto. I will be updating each item with more details as time goes on.
- Love those around you – Without love, life is not worth much
- Be supportive of positive achievements – We all have achievements, good or bad, but the ones that move us forward are the ones that need to be celebrated
- Do what you believe is right - If you think something is right do it, if you do not feel guilty about something do it as long as it not against the law
- Help those in need when tragedy hits – We all have bad days and good days. When someone is in a tragedy, we need to show support and help in meaningful ways
- Love your family and grow it – Love your family and do what it takes to make that love grow. If it is not growing then it is dying.
- Love your beliefs and study it
- Learn something new everyday – You waste a day by not learning something new. Apply it to your life to make it better.
- Speak your mind when you disagree with something – If you do not open your mouth and say something then you acknowledge your agreement with it
- Question why, challenge the mindset – You need to always question why and if you cannot accept the answer then learn everything you can.
- Never settle for mediocrity – Always strive to do your best and never settle for “that will do”
- Do your best in all you do
- Be there for those you love
- Be the exception to the normal status quo
- Avoid the jackasses and jerks
- Strive for the simple life but be ready to embrace the confusion and crazy along the way
- Work to live not live to work
- Give of you time and talents to those that can benefit from them
- The devil is in the detail pay attention to them
- Be willing to change when appropriate
- HAM it up everyday - Follow the HAM Radio Creed. The Radio Amateur Is: CONSIDERATE, LOYAL, PROGRESSIVE, FRIENDLY, BALANCED and PATRIOTIC. You can find it at http://www.arrl.org/amateur-code
