The thing is, people in this city respect you. And it's because of something you taught us since day one. You get respect not just by earning it, but by giving it. It's why we would follow you anywhere and why we think others would too. I know you've been feeling like you don't have anything left to teach us, but I'm telling 'ya, you do. And you should be teaching from a higher perch, where every firefighter in Chicago can benefit from it.
