Maj. Patrick Marrill assumed the position of command sergeant major of the 405th Army Field Support Brigade during an official change of responsibility ceremony in Kaiserslautern Oct. 30.<\/p>\n<p>At the ceremony, during his remarks, Marrill provided attendees with some valuable words of wisdom and sage advice. He said he\u2019s lived by seven simple rules and practiced them throughout his entire 25-year Army career. He calls them the &#8220;Seven Rules of Life\u201d and they are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Smile. It will always work out in the end.<\/li>\n<li>Take care of your body and your mind. One struggles to survive without the other.<\/li>\n<li>Make peace with your past, focus on being present and creating a better future for you and those around you.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid negativity, negative thoughts and negative people. They will only bring you down in the end.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t give up. If it doesn\u2019t work the first time, find another way.<\/li>\n<li>It doesn\u2019t cost a thing to be kind. Each of you have the power to make others feel good. It\u2019s what you do with that power that matters.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t compare and don\u2019t allow others to compare you to anyone or anything else. Everyone has different goals and are on different journeys. Just embrace them and accept them for who they are.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"editor-image photo-slideshow\">\n<figure class=\"photo cur-photo\">\n          <span class=\"centered-image\"><br \/>\n            <span class=\"img-container\"><br \/>\n              <a class=\"rich-text-img-link\" href=\"https:\/\/api.army.mil\/e2\/c\/images\/2024\/10\/31\/e8d6f44a\/original.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n                <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Meet the new 405th AFSB CSM, plus his \u2018Seven Rules of Life\u2019\" src=\"https:\/\/adn.monetizemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/size0-full-580.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n              <\/a><br \/>\n                              <span class=\"ss-move ss-prev\"><br \/>\n                  <span class=\"ss-move-button\"><\/span><br \/>\n                <\/span><br \/>\n                <span class=\"ss-move ss-next\"><br \/>\n                  <span class=\"ss-move-button\"><\/span><br \/>\n                <\/span><br \/>\n                          <\/span><br \/>\n          <\/span><figcaption>\n                          <span class=\"image-count\">1 \/ 2<\/span><br \/>\n              <span class=\"image-caption-button\"><br \/>\n                <span class=\"caption-button-text caption-button-hide\">Show Caption +<\/span><br \/>\n                <span class=\"caption-button-text caption-button-show\">Hide Caption \u2013<\/span><br \/>\n              <\/span><br \/>\n                        <span class=\"image-caption\"><br \/>\n              <span class=\"caption-text\"><br \/>\n                Jaymi and Maliah, the daughters of Command Sgt.
