Never Sleep On Your Parachute
Unique Leadership Axiom: Never let personal comfort endanger your life.
As a student at Caltech I was a member of the Air Force ROTC. Back in the day, some of us cadets were flown to The Firepower Demonstration at Eglin Air Force Base. In the plane we sat on canvas seats and bare aluminum structure. Backpack parachutes were stacked in the corner, so to say. All of us cadets were uncomfortable sitting in the canvas seats. One cadet pulled out a backpack parachute and lay down on it.
Pack your own Parachute
Unique Leadership Axiom: Never trust your life to someone who does not know or care about you.
