26. Celebrate. “Celebrate,” shouts one of the coaches of my
daughter’s soccer team after we score. It’s important to celebrate.
In a soccer game, and in life, there are ups and downs in the normal
course of events. Celebrating victories, even minor victories, leads to
more and bigger victories. Celebration lifts the entire team. It makes
the game more fun. Even when the team is behind, it’s important to
celebrate goals.

Our identities are shaped by life experiences. We spring from our
parents, survive our youth, and pass through awkward teenage years
learning from our mistakes. We fail, and we succeed. If we’re lucky we
find a place where we know who we are and develop the character that
reflects credibility, trustworthiness and confidence.

HVAC Comfortech is the main event of HVACR Week, so if you are a
