In the book

The only open question is the scope of it — whose good are you actually responsible for promoting: your own, your family's, or everyone's? Mastering any of it rests on a few essential lessons learned early — compassion, forgiveness, ethics, and, of all things, humor — without which you stay trapped in a narrow view and can't turn your mistakes into anything useful. Integrity is the instrument working when no one is watching. Who you are matters more than what you do. — True North (Ethics, Integrity, Truth, Values)
