Admin's creed

This is my instance. There are many like them but this one is mine.

My instance is my best friend. It is my life. I must admin it as I must admin my life.

Without me, my instance is useless. Without my instance, I am useless.

I must maintain my data true. I must scrub data better than my end users, who are trying to contaminate it. I must activate the workflow rules before they input the data. I will.

My instance and myself know that what counts in this war is not the reports we make, the dashboards of our C*Os or the triggers we write. We know that it is the data quality that counts.

My instance is human, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its record types, its objects, its templates, its workflows, its custom fields, its layouts. I will keep my data clean and ready, even as I am a nerd and sweaty. We will become part of each other.

Before Salesforce I swear this creed: my instance and myself are defenders of my company, we are the masters of our CRM, we are the saviors of our customer experience. So be it, until there is no incomplete data, but useful reports.
