Hear only the things you should hear - be deaf to others.
Keep your temper. A decision made in anger is never sound.
Avoid sarcasm. Don't insist on the last word.
Take pride in your work at all times. Remember, respect for an umpire is created off the field as well as on.
Keep all your personalities out of your work. Forget and forgive.
