The Journey Continues: Three Years Part Three

Editor's Note: The Journey Continues celebrates three years this month. This is the third part in a four part column highlighting notable columns over the years.

#10 I wrote a column about my personal “truths” speech to the cadets, United States Military Academy, West Point:

• “When making a choice, the hard way is the right way."
• “You can’t go down two roads at the same time, meaning that in life we cannot have things both ways; that only leads to failure."
• “On your chosen road, one can do more than one -thing- at- a- time well."
• “One cannot prejudge others."
• "Service to the Nation is the high calling of placing others above self. A soldier’s purpose is to protect life, not take life. It is a privilege to lead American soldiers.”
