The Christine Hudek Code, inspired by the Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative:

The easy road is not always the right road •  Never judge others, everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about • Live passionately and with purpose • Like glitter, a good attitude makes everything better • Be kind when it is possible – it’s always possible • Feel the fear and do it anyway • No one has ever become poor by giving •We shall never know all the good a simple smile can do •The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary•Strive to be a blessing to someone each and every day•Life is short, love where you work•Tolerance only for those who agree with you is no tolerance at all.
