In no certain order of their importance, here are some of those principles:
-- Always have respect for people -- those you work for, especially those who work for you and anyone else you meet along the way.
-- Never expect things to be given to you. Life isn't a free load. Good fortune has much more personal value if you've had to work for it.
-- Let disappointments or setbacks become motivaters for self-improvement. Don't blame others for things you can't control.
-- Set the bar high for your achievement goals, but make patience one of your tools for getting there.
-- Be a good listener. No matter how much you have learned from books, friends and mentors, there's always more knowledge out there for the picking, so don't stop learning.
