1. Change starts with me (and you).

I
will consider my own biases and be open to changing myself before lamenting that
others stand in the way of change.

2. Complaining is not an option.

I
forfeit my right to complain (and get what I deserve) if I am not willing to
act. 

3. There are no sacred cows (including mine).

Everyone
and everything I value is fair game.

4. There are no invitations.

I
will actively participate in change whether or not I’ve been asked.   I will
not view change as being inflicted on me.

5. Change requires an open mind.

I
will attempt to find the value in new ideas, remembering that an idea is rarely
100% right or 100% wrong. 

6. Risk is part of the equation.

I
will take chances, experiment, and break the rules when I need to. However, I remain accountable for my actions.

7. Diversity breeds perspective.

I
will find the “freaks”. I will learn
from people that are nothing like me by listening to them and watching what
they do.

8. There is no plug and play.

I
will think. I will adapt ideas before I adopt them. 

9. The target is moving.

I
must constantly
evolve, never being satisfied with how things are, but always considering how
they could be.

10. Resistance is futile.

I
am either causing change, adapting to it, or subject to it.  Everything changes.
