"I learned that law is a codification of what is supposed to be right or wrong in that society. Embedded inside the law is an implicit understanding of whether the law can be broken or not. If you follow the law, then you should get carrots. If you don't follow the law and break it, then you should get a stick. If a person murders somebody else, then the law has to have the ability to capture the person, put them through a trial, and then sentence them to punishment. If the law doesn't have the military and police power, or the right of use of force, then it cannot enforce that judgment." - Jeremy Au
"I learned that making a strong team isn't necessarily about making sure that everybody has an amazing time. Actually, it's important to have some level of pressure, some level of mission. Then during these times the humor, the bond will emerge and allow the team to come together." - Jeremy Au
"The core of a soldier is being ready to make the ultimate sacrifice, which is that of your own life. For me, that was a crazy realization. It's a crazy feeling to know that if a war came, you would probably sacrifice your own life. Coming to grips with the potential of sacrificing yourself in order to protect your family, your loved ones, your country. It's a very large emotion. It's larger than myself. And it changed my perspective forever." - Jeremy Au
