Do you remember that “get to know you game” Scruples? I believe it first appeared in the early 90′s or late 80′s. In case some of you don’t recall it, the game works this way. Four to eight friends pick six ‘Scruples question’ cards and six ‘response’ cards. A person can only answer three ways to the questions asked: Yes, No or Depends. The question cards ask a variety of questions dealing with morals and ethics (as if these are two completely different concepts). Questions like:

“The person in front of you in line accidentally drops a $100 bill. You pick it up. They have no idea they’ve dropped it and it appears they have several $100 bills in their billfold and you are certain nobody else saw the dropped money. Do you keep it or tell the person?”

The object of the game is to predict how a person will answer. If you chose a “YES” response card, for example, then you would direct the question to a participating player who you think will answer YES. If they answer as you predicted, you get to unload one of your response cards, a good thing because the first player out of response cards wins.

OK, so now that you know how to play Scruples, what did I learn? I learned that people, for the most part, don’t like to live in black and white. Seventy percent of the time people would say, DEPENDS. “It depended if I knew the person, if I knew they were a jerk I’d keep their money! If I didn’t know them I’d report it.”

It would concern me that people could justify why it was ok to do the wrong thing … STEAL! Everyone knows the right thing to do is to report the dropped bill, yet somehow the human mind can justify why, in some cases, it’s ok to keep it! It’s disenchanting to say the least. After all, if we had dropped the $100 bill I’m confident there would be no ‘depends’ involved.

I understand that there can be areas of grey in life, but I also believe that people who live with black and white perceptions of things are more grounded. Whether we agree or disagree with them, they appear confident and unruffled when questioned on their beliefs. I love those people. It takes guts to stand up and say, “”THIS IS WRONG!”" Business ethics tie right into today’s Wisdom.

In working with successful entrepreneurs, I’ve discovered there’s an authenticity that’s admirable. They say what they do and do what they say. Their convictions are carried outside the office to their everyday lives. Their convictions are their value system that is inherent in their organizations, and when an organization shares good values, consistency is created and when consistency is created brands come alive. Are you passionate about your convictions? Do you have the guts to step up and say, “That’s not right,” even if a deal benefits you? Remember, a good deal is made when both parties benefit equally in the end result.

For many years I had always said that I am not a moral person, however, I am an ethical person. But when I would say, “I am not a moral person,” I would wait to see the person’s reaction to my saying that before I added the “however, I am an ethical person.”

Normally the person would wrinkle their brow and get this confused look on their face, and then I would commence to explain my thoughts on the difference between “morals vs. ethics.”
The reason I have chosen not to rule my life based on “morals”" is that I think there is an extreme difference between morals and ethics. Before you say, “This is a semantics issue,” let me explain.
I really am not playing “the meaning of words game” here. In my mind I clearly see a big difference between making your decision based on “”morals”" and making your decisions of life based on your personal ethics. The dictionary has this to offer:

Ethics: choosing principles of conduct as a guiding philosophy.

Morals: conforming to a standard of right behavior.

Here is where I see the difference. Morals, to be sure, are rules and standards that we are told we must “conform” to when deciding what is “”right”" behavior. In other words, morals are dictated to us by either society or religion.

We are not free to think and choose. You either accept or you don’t! We are taught by society and religion that you “shall not lie” or you should “give to the poor” or you must “love others as you would have others love you” or you must do something because it is “your moral obligation.” The key issue with “morals” is that you are expected to “conform to a standard of right behavior” and not question that “conforming” or you are not a “moral” person. But again, where do these “morals” come from to which we are expected to “conform”? Yep, from society and/or religion, but not from YOU, and that’s what bothers me.

Ethics, on the other hand, are “principles of conduct” that YOU CHOOSE to govern your life as a guiding philosophy that YOU have chosen for your life. Again, call it semantics if you want, but I see a big difference between “conforming” and “choosing.” With MORALS the “thinking has been done;” with ETHICS there’s a freedom to “”think and choose”" your personal philosophy for guiding the conduct of your life. I like to watch movies about the “”mafia”" or TV shows like the “Sopranos.” The people on these shows are extremely devoted people to their families and religions, but they have somehow “morally justified” their actions of killing, stealing, and lying.

How is it that these extremely devoted family men and supposedly devoted members of the Catholic religion think that what they are doing is moral is a mystery to me. Yet they wear their “crosses,” cross themselves, love their kids, and dedicate themselves to the “family” while killing people who get in the way. Now that’s an interesting morality. But morals don’t stop there. Think of all the hundreds of cultures who have totally different ideas of morality. Some cultures think it is perfectly fine to have as many wives as they want; some think only one wife is moral in the eyes of God.

Some cultures think that it is fine to steal if you need food; other cultures think that stealing is stealing and is never morally justified. Some cultures think that “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth” judgment is fine; other cultures think that this type of moral thinking is barbaric.
When you leave MORAL THINKING to society and religion, there is no such thing as “absolute morality.” So, is there any such thing as a 100% MORAL PERSON? I think not, at least based on the criteria, culture, society, and religion telling us what our morals should be.

ETHICS are a totally another matter. With ethics, you are free to choose your personal philosophy of conduct to guide your life. You are not dependent on the judgment of society or religion “”based in fear”" when making your ethical decisions.

For example, I believe in telling the truth not because God may curse me, but because it is the right and best thing to do based on my personal ethics. I believe in being 100% faithful to my wife, not because adultery is a sin, but because being true to your wife is the smart and right thing to do.

It is a better and happier way to live, again not because God will send me to hell if I commit adultery, but because it is the right and best way to live my life based on my ethical way of seeing things. I believe in keeping the laws of the land, however, I am not living my life based on the rules of society and religion, but solely based on a pragmatic and ethical way of living.
I don’t refrain from stealing because I’m afraid I might go to jail. I don’t steal because I have decided not to steal based on my ethics. I don’t have to be commanded to give to the poor. I concern myself with giving to and helping the poor based on my ethics.I have the freedom to choose and if I am smart, I will choose personal ethics that will enrich my life and the lives of others. As with all other freedoms, there is always the risk that I will make ethical decisions that could cause me to drift over to the “dark side.”

That’s the problem with the freedom to choose or free agency. Anytime we allow people the freedom to choose, we also give them the freedom to make bad choices. If you want to make bad ethical decisions that will make you, and perhaps others, unhappy, then you can. However, if you want to make good ethical decision that will make you and others happier, you have the freedom to make those ethical decisions too. I choose personal ethics to govern my life that make me happier, while I strive to enrich the lives of others. It’s the ethical thing to do based on my personal ethics. You don’t have to tell me not to lie, not to steal, not to kill, not to commit adultery, etc. I have already made my ethical decisions to NOT do those things.

You don’t have to tell me to give to the poor, love my neighbor and my enemies, use my free agency for good, etc. I have already made these personal ethical decisions. I choose my principles of personal conduct because I have thought about them. My ethics are my ethics, and yet interestingly enough, they almost always agree with society and religion. The only difference is I made these decisions.

My personal thinking determines my ethics. I made these ethical choices. Not because I was told by society or religion to think a certain way but because I thought it was the best way to live a complete and fulfilled life of happiness. Freedom to think is a great concept. We ought to use this freedom more often. Think about it.

“Laguna, a place somewhere in the Philippines, 8pm. Darkness has unveils the whole place as early as 6pm, but it does not stop those kids from keep on playing. Playing hide and seek, a perfect well-suited environment, for playing the right game at the right the time. Rules are well stated and everyone is mandated to comply. Each of them has their own way to win the game, and there’s a sense of shared commonly among those kids. They are taking advantage and benefited from total darkness.

It may be in the opposite effect in the real life business if it embraces the aspect of navigating blind from the concept of child play. There is a need to master the art of navigating blind and it involve “A play of Trial and Error” because playing business without rehearsal is well decoded interpretation of business failure. I’ll liked to take that as my second quotation

The concept failure has been long encoded to the very existence of every being, from the day we were born, but it was interpreted not as failure but a series of repeated processes from the mind of a babies. It is estimated that before a babies are able to walk, they had at least encountered 273 falls before their able to stand on their feet. And without those repeated event from our views as failure, we will make our self with no difference from other Gods creation that walks in four feet.

In my views there is shared commonality among businesses that they mandated to comply whether it’s a direct or indirect business competition. There should a played rehearsal on the business level at the lighter term in organic means of bench marking whether internal, competitive or any other type. Likewise the played rehearsal will give a safe fail mechanism in the eventuality of total failure before it even happened. We make decision based on the amount of available resources that we had on our hands, and based on that we gain result. And result itself varies accordingly from people to people and business-to-business who are making the decisions.

It is the capacity of a man to dwell upon to the ever-changing nature of business as it self evolve to exist and adapt to serve its purpose. To benefits us through providing services that entice underlying competition within them selves. These provide a guaranteed improvement for product and services before reaching the hand of end users and equate market value for that product and services at its highest degree.

Among those area between client and service provider it may seems and lead me to confusion to where the business phantom might be walking and making its path to unveil his existence’s. To some point he might present him self as a client blending to the market industries as a customers seeking for a good or a bad product and service and learning from it. Or might as well to consider as a service provide doing a business anonymously, interacting with the same kind. Or might as well put my curiosity out of the play for now and continue searching.

The evening is long but the kids at play has decided to temporarily end their games, and every one in my assumption has a pair shared of competition, strategies, and well adapted trial and error to win the game. A call to my name “Bernard” by one of the kid upon passing by give me a sense, to might as well temporary pause my writing… Sunday 10pm September 9.

“There’s more to life than just making money and creating results. Life is really about connecting. Life is about developing a network. Life is about reaching out and assisting other people to achieve their dreams. When you’re able to do that, your dreams will come true more quickly than you ever imagined.

Back in 1997, I had a breakthrough year. Many hundreds of thousands of dollars flowed into my bank account and even though it was overwhelming at times, I look back and say, “”Wow, my breakthrough year.”" What most people don’t understand is that I was in that process for about eight years. It all showed up in that one year and it all showed up not because I was a great salesman, but because I had evolved into a position where I had finally learned the difference between selling to people and developing the right people.

This I call the law of attraction. I looked up one day and had all these great people in my organization and realized that it was a by-product of my own charisma, my own energy. I had evolved to a position that people wanted to follow. People believed in me because I had started to believe in myself. I’d crossed that invisible barrier, developed that sense of certainty, and moved into the space occupied by people who really understand the game of life.

They start to understand that life is about service and value, and giving back, not just taking, and that everything operates off a yin and a yang, a give and a take, and you’ll get exactly what you expect. When you expect to struggle, the Universe will reward you with exactly what you expect. When you expect to flow, to reside, be hands-free, evolve and start to become the person you’ve always deserved to be, the Universe will also reward you with its own sense of abundance.

Most people never get to that phase because they never really start. Most people think they’re doing something, but they’re using their heads instead of operating from their hearts. When you’re in your heart, you are passionate, you are feeling. There’s a zest for the game. You can’t wait to play. Life is nothing more than a game and you don’t work for a living. You don’t trade time for dollars.

You are creating a palette in your design of your life. You’re moving people. You’re part of it. You’re all of it. You’re moving and shaking. You can’t wait to get up. You wake up before the alarm goes off and you say, “”Wow, five-thirty. I get to work out right now. I get to work out and then I get to connect with people.”"

People ask me all the time, “”Aren’t you a workaholic? Don’t you ever have fun?”" They don’t understand that every breathing moment that I am on this Earth plane I am having fun because I don’t do anything that isn’t fun anymore. I will not operate from guilt. When someone tells me to do something, I’m only going to do it because I feel it will be fun, not because I have to. Operating from fun means you come from your heart. But when you have to make yourself do something, you’re operating from your head. That’s a job. That’s trading time for dollars. But when life is fun, you’re in your heart. People sense it.

They want to be a part of it. They want to be around you. They want to touch you. They want to connect with you. They want to flow with you. They want you to lead them to the land of Paradise, the Promised Land. When you can radiate and resonate and feel and operate like this, people want to be around you.

When you operate like this, greatness starts to show up in your life because it’s showing up in your heart. The more it’s in your heart, the more you exude it.

It’s an internal experience that starts to radiate out of you externally. That’s when you operate from a telepathic position that says, “”I am the leader you are looking for.”" You’re consciously sending this message telepathically through thought waves, and in synchronicity, people who are supposed to hear your message become magnetized to these moments.

I call these, ‘Ah-ha’ moments. It’s radiating from your heart, not your head because if you’re in your head, you’re over-analyzing rather than being in the present moment. People don’t understand the value of time.

Time is your most valuable commodity. There are 86,400 seconds in every single day, 1,440 minutes, one hour, one day, one week, one month, one year, and one lifetime. What are you doing right now to create value in yourself? Obviously, if you are reading this, you are gaining a deeper perspective because, at least in the moment, you are in the process of changing just by taking the effort to gain the empowering perspectives of this information.

When it comes to change, sometimes change is gradual. Sometimes change is big, and sometimes change is small, and sometimes you’re changing and you don’t even know you’ve changed and you wake up one day and you realize, “”Wow, this is the life I’m leading. This is the life I deserve. I am the person that people are looking for. I am becoming the artist who’s designing my life.”"

When you operate this way, people want to be a part of you. They want to be in your energy, and instead of people being repelled by you; they are magnetized to you. People are touching you. They’re feeling you, and I’m talking about your energy, and when this happens, you have crossed an emotional bridge.

The justification of the personal ethical philosophy must now be added to the statement. David Hume (1711-1776) takes the idea of hedonism and compares it to the basic needs of animals. Hume believes that pain as well as pleasure incites an animal into action either for self-preservation or the allure of pleasurable experiences. The experience alone of either sensation does not elicit a single reaction, but the combined sensations and the acts of seeking pleasure and avoiding pain creates circumstances in which the ‘human animal’ will react according to the severity of either pain or pleasure. Hume’s statement takes the humanity out of man and presents the human as an empty vessel which is only filled by the circumstances of the hedonistic lifestyle (Hume, 1888).

Hume’s ideas now solidify the secular aspect of the personal, educational ethics philosophy by creating a balance of both pain and pleasure. The educational leader can make educational decisions satisfying the needs of ethical pursuits that based on an omnipotent being and at the same time know that his or her philosophy depends on both sensations of pain and pleasure. This will incorporate an idea that though the pursuits to obtain knowledge and to gain happiness will have a moral end, the circumstances that arise from that pursuit will have negative connotations that are imperative in the decision made.

A new version of the personal education statement can now be written to include Hume’s ideas. The personal ethical philosophy may now look like this, ‘Education and knowledge brings more opportunities of happiness and well being. Thus the goal of the educational staff and students should be to pursue those educational opportunities to bring them into the state of happiness and well-being. As we advance toward knowledge and happiness, the natural course of outcomes will be morale because it is God’s design for us to be happy and to acquire happiness through knowledge. In the course of this pursuit pain and pleasure, happiness and sorrow, and success failure will arise and with each failure, the pursuit toward positive aspects of our educational decisions must be maintained.’

Epicurus, Hume, More, and Erasmus strived to keep the hedonistic, psychological state of awareness and being in scope by both stating the need for a human to follow pleasure and at the same time finding that pleasure and receiving morale justification at the end. Through the use of secular and religious reasoning, these philosophers have presented the case that man can indeed seek pleasure, avoid pain, and make morale decisions at the same time. To separate from the idea that pleasure is carnal sin; the ethical hedonist can envision pleasure as a sense of physical and mental well being. Material items for pleasure or excessive indulgences of the flesh should be recognized by the ethical hedonist as things that are not apart of his or her educational philosophy.

The educational leader now has a complete ethical philosophy in which to base his or her decisions. The leader has a goal, to obtain happiness, well being, and ethical pleasure, and a path dictated by both religious and secular beliefs. This new perspective will dictate educational decisions by the confidence the educational leader has about the end result of that decision. The leader will know that with the desire for knowledge and education, a better life will be obtained in the future that will have less pain and more pleasure through the natural course of education and the opportunities that it presents. The education leader will make decisions based on this idea and will know that even though there is pain, sorrow, and failure associated with the decision, they will be over shadowed by the result of more pleasure than pain. The leader will feel good about the decision because it will be based on the idea that the school as a collective spirit of both staff and students will move toward a higher state of being and standard of living by following the educational decisions that promote knowledge.

Look around. Today, more than ever before, it has become fashionable to cheat. One could say, and come away without too much criticism, that everyone expects it. The funny thing is the person who expects it, or observes it, or knows someone who does it, never seems to admit doing it themselves. Ironically, they actually believe they are not infected. As noted, this is a national pastime.

Why is this? Why do husbands cheat on their wives and wives cheat on their husbands? Does not the vow to love, honor, cherish, and “”obey”", (some leave out the “”obey”" part now), mean anything. Well, it appears the times indeed are changing.

In America at least, spousal cheating, encouraged by theater, movies, partytime, and yes, peer pressure, is at epidemic proportions. Does anyone feel guilty? Absolutely, just before it is time to maybe do it again. Kids today, as a result, have groups of parents i.e. first there is the real father and mother, then there is 1st father and 1st mother, and 2nd father and 2nd mother, and so on and so forth, not to mention step brothers and step sisters galore. When we talk about extended families today, we are certainly not talking of the family of 50 years ago that included aunts, uncles, and cousins right down to twice removed. Now, there is no way to keep up.

Then there is the work environment. Parents who cheat at home, cheat on the job. They lie and steal to get ahead. Oh, it is not the felonious type of stealing, although that is always possible, it is the subtle kind — stealing someone’s ideas, words, concepts, suggestions, as well as time from the company on the phone, at lunch, leaving early on weekends, calling in sick when one is not sick, and taking paper, pens, pencils, paperclips and anything not to heavy to carry. If one is in construction, they take bricks, boards, mortar and tools. Cheating on the job has taken on national epidemic proportions. Wal-Mart with their 360-degree cameras strung from the ceilings from every store watch the employees as much as they watch the shoppers.

And what about the churches and among clerics, the courts and legal profession, our schools and among the educators, the health field and medical professionals, government at all levels and among the legislators? What do we find? Cheating permeates every level of our society.

And what about the kids? Where do they fit into this?

Over 70% of them admit to cheating before they graduate from high school. By the time they finish college, 80% are willing to admit they have done it in some way.

When college business students are asked what is the most corrupt field to go into, over 90% suggest it is business. Yet, they willingly choose it as their field of specialization because that is “”where the money is.”"

What about the tiny tots? At what age does a child learn to cheat? Studies now show that 3 out of 4 know how to do it by the time they are 5. And where do they learn it? Why, the parents, of course.

So the old adage, “”do as I say, not as I do”", really does have a beginning and a significance because it seems most have done it and really do fear their offspring or their charges will do it too. Why? Simply, because it is wrong. We all know it. We all feel it, and we all do not want our youngsters or our charges to do it. We really do want them to be better than us. The internal gut wrenching feelings get us every time. And if we don’t feel anything? Well then we are psychopaths, socially detached from society and any responsibility for good.

In today’s world the word “”ethical”" has taken on a new meaning of “”squeaky clean”" and “”please look at me or my organization for we are ethical practitioners.”" Do the new awareness responses mean much when you really know the facts? Lawrence Kholberg’s theory of ethical development may be hard pressed to determine why as human beings we seem to be stuck in moving forward. It seems the further we go in greater prosperity and technology development the be-hinder we get in moral development. Is it an illusion?

Actions speak louder than words. To be ethical, one must act ethically. One has to lead and show by doing and not accept society’s drifters who proclaim when observing ethical breeches that “”they’re just kids”" or “”everybody does it”" or “”it was only a fling”", or “”I had no choice”". Unless somebody is holding a gun to one’s head, everybody, no matter how small or how old, has a choice. They may not like what the potential outcome may be but they had a choice to do the right thing.

Is it tough? What do you think?

The philosophy of business is a set of values that reflects upon the fundamentals of a business endeavor when structuring and managing of the venture. This philosophy has many principles and may vary depending on the type of venture. Of course, when reflecting upon the philosophy of business things such as ethics should be regarded.

The philosophy of business has a great deal to do with three major characteristics – ethics, philosophy and economic theory. Those involved in industry practices must greatly consider all of these aspects and how they influence dealings when reflecting.

When considering the philosophy of business it can be different for each professional. One of the things to consider is the purpose of the company. There can be many purposes, including, capitalizing on profits for the company and its stockholders, providing the best possible results for the stakeholders of the company (i.e. employees and customers), having the outcome of satisfied clientele and also maximizing revenue.

Many people that live and breath the philosophy of business, whatever their personal viewpoint or belief may be, agree that a venture must try its hardest to balance all of the potential purposes that were previously mentioned.

Seeing that regardless if you are the owner of the company or business, someone who owns stock in the venture, a person who is employed by the company, an individual who is a customer of the product or service or just maybe a member of the community, you are part of that balance of the philosophy of business, and should be seen as such.

With that being said, all aspects should be taken into consideration so that the philosophy of business is set at equilibrium and so that ethical and moral practices are being put into play.

Recent Scandals In the wake of the Blagojevich scandal, others come to mind. The foibles of Former New York Governor Elliot Spitzer, former Florida Congr ssman Mark Foley and retiring Idaho Senator Larry Craig, to name a few. In the corporate area, Madoff’s $50 billion Ponzi scheme, caps off years of scandalous reports about Enron, Tyco International, and World Com. The moral faults of corporate leade s con inue to cost investors billions. Is there a modern day standard bearer to guide the common man?

Ancient Warrior Code
According to Shannon French, author, The Code of the Warrior: Exploring Warrior Values Past and Present, the essential element of a warrior’s code is to set definite limits on what warriors can and can not do. In this sense, warriors value honor, integrity, justice and a sense of what is right and wrong. To the ancient warrior, the discernment between right and wrong is like night and day. Clear, obvious, unquestionable. To them, there are no gray areas, no “that depends on what your definition of ‘is’ is “(Bill Clinton). To the warrior, if something is not right, he will not do it.

Ancient Warriors versus Corporate Warriors
In ancient times, one looked to the warrior for guidance to the light; to serve as defenders of moral integrity. Today, though, the warrior, or rather corporate warrior is perceived as mere profiteers. Neocons, using natural disasters, social unrest, changes in regimes and wars- have been used ‘as a natural ally’ of corporate interests. Naomi Klein, in her book, the Shock Doctrine, indicates that heads of,companies, representatives of municipalities stood in the rubble of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and thanked God for the solution to the problem of housing in New Orleans. Similarly, PW Singer, in his book, Corporate Warriors: The Rise of the Privatized Military Industry writes that private corporations working for profit have the ability to sway the course of national and international conflict.

Warriors of Light
Paulo Coelho, in his book, Manual of the Warrior of Light made this observation: “Sometimes the warrior feels as if he were living two lives at once. In one o” them he is obliged to do all the things he does not want to do and fight for ideas in which he does not believe…Then all that is needed is a little daring, and his two lives become one.” p 181. Ancient warriors carried out actions that brought them closer to their higher ideal. Some political and corporate warriors, on the other hand have tended to capitalize on the weak. How might we attain warrior of light status?

Friends and Allies
First, we need to de-bunk the myth that warriors are ‘lone wolves.’ Throughout pop western culture, American icons: John Wayne, Rambo, Clint Eastwood, have presented the ideal warriors. These warriors exercise independence of mind, thought and action. Often, they are presented as friendless. A warrior of light, however, appears to revel in the company of friends, followers and allies. Twyan Towery, in his book The Wisdom of Wolves, argues that the ‘strength of the wolf is the pack, and the strength of the pack is the wolf.’ Coelho quotes John Donne and continues in his own words. “No man is an island. He can not fight alone; whatever his plan, he depends on other people. .. p 103.

When selecting alternative courses of action, the warrior, relies upon the wisdom of his closest friends. Prior to committing a whimsical act, how many have been spared public humiliation because a colleague quickly intervened?

Angels
Second, warriors of light recognize that they are fallible and need divine help. Theologians say there roughly 300 references to angels in the Bible. Coelho presents warriors of light as men who steadfastly rely upon angels, God and Jesus Christ.

“A warrior knows that an angel and a devil are both competing for his sword”hand. The devil says: ‘You will weaken. You will not know exactly when. You are afraid. ‘ the angel says: ‘You will weaken. You will not know exactly when. You are afraid.’ The warrior is surprised. Both angel and devil have said the same thing. Then the devil goes on: ‘Let me help you.’ And the angel says: ‘I will help you.’ At that moment, the warrior understands the difference. The words may be the same, but these two allies are completely different. And he chooses the angel’s hand.” p 123. How does the warrior of light know that the purpose for which he is fighting is just and pure? According to Coelho, ‘The warrior of light meditates. He sits in a quiet place in his tent and surrenders himself to the divine light…. A warrior of light knows that in the silence of his heart he will hear an order that will guide him.” p 55.

Open Heart
One would readily suspect that warriors, those who must exact judgment on a daily basis, are driven by hatred and unfettered greed. Instead, according to Coelho, “The warrior of light always keeps his heart free of any feelings of hatred. .. He accepts that his opponents are there to test his valor, his persistence, his ability t” make decisions. They force him to fight for his dreams. It is the experience of battle that strengthens the warrior of light.” p. 87 As keepers of the light, warriors are born with a spark of light. As each day passes, warriors evolve. Their spark flickers into a small and then larger flame through prayer, meditation and connection to the One. We turn to Coelho again for clarification, “Accumulating love brings luck, accumulating hatred brings calamity. Anyone who fails to recognize problems leaves the door open for tragedies to rush in.” p 53.

Conclusion
When the warrior reaches temporary defeat, he is comforted by this, “The warrior of light unwittingly takes a false step and plunges into the abyss. Ghosts frighten him and solitude torments him. His aim had been to fight the Good Fight, and he never imagined that this would happen to him, but it did. Shrouded in darkness, he makes contact with his master. ‘Master, I have fallen into the abyss,’ he says. ‘T”e waters are deep and dark.’ ‘Remember one thing, ‘ “eplies his master. ‘You do not drown simply by plunging in to the water, you only drown if you stay beneath the surface.’ And the warrior uses all his strength to escape from his predicament.” p 129. So too, there is hope for the likes of political and corporate warriors, Blagojevich and Madoff. Get up and aim to respect the true code of the warrior; value honor, integrity, justice and a sense of what is right and wrong.

“Ethics is a body of principles or standards of human conduct that govern the behavior of individuals and groups” (Bottorff, n.d., p.1). “While ethical behavior is based on a set of values and principles, ethical behavior goes beyond mere belief; it also encompasses actions of individuals, groups and organizations (p. 2). Ethics encompasses “the principles, norms, and standards of conduct governing an individual or group” (Trevino and Nelson, 2003, p. 13). Ethics can be considered a set of standards that an individual or organization uses to guide actions of the individual or group. Corporate social responsibility “is about how companies manage the business processes to produce an overall positive impact on society”

A socially conscious organization recognizes its responsibilities on several different levels, including; economic, legal, ethical and philanthropic responsibilities (Trevino and Nelson, 2003, p. 31). Therefore, ethical behavior can be seen as one aspect of a socially responsible company. A company cannot be socially responsible if it only looks after its economic and legal responsibilities. There are times when a company must do more than what is required by the letter of the law and consider what is ethical. This is especially true for multi-national organizations that operate in countries with varying legal responsibilities. The company must be driven by ethical standards above and beyond bare minimum legal requirements.

Just as ethical behavior is a part of a socially responsible organization; it is difficult to imagine a company that is striving to be ethical, not to become socially responsible. As a company examines its ethical actions, they will be driven to make decisions that become more socially responsible. This is especially true as the company strives to provide ethical treatment to all stakeholders beyond shareholders. If employees and community are considered in the decision making process as stakeholders, then decisions will be made in ways to reduce negative and enhance positive outcomes for each group. Hence, the company’s actions become more and more socially responsible.

Ethical behavior then is one component of a social responsible organization. If the organization or leader strives for social responsibility, they will be driven to act more and more ethically toward all stakeholders. Likewise, an ethical leader or organization will become more socially responsible as they consider making decisions through an ethical lens.

Igniting your workplace with a sense of integrity and joy- sounds lofty, huh? Truth be told the joy naturally follows from the integrity. Ever worked in a place that lacked integrity? I’m betting you didn’t have much joy there did you? What is it that makes a place be filled with integrity?

Webster’s defines integrity as an unwavering commitment to a firm moral code. In my experience it is much simpler. It is doing the right thing no matter who is- or isn’t- watching.

Take the grocery cart back.

Don’t detour to go to Walmart after your sales call & submit that on your mileage report.

Show up where you say you’ll be- when you say you’ll be there.

Keep the deal you said you’d make.

Don’t “”borrow”" the powerwasher from work.

Eat your green vegetables.

Expect to earn your salary- there is a reason it is called work.

Listen to your customers.

Inform and educate your customers.

Tell them the truth.

Don’t hide debt in off-balance sheet subsidiaries.

Refrain from price gouging.

Staying in a workplace that lacks integrity will soil your soul.

and a few specific ones for our friends in healthcare:

Adhere to the patient’s wishes.

Ask patients their names- AND what they want to be called.

Tell them your name & what in the heck you’re doing to them.

Worry about your scope of expertise not your scope of reimbursement.

Inform the patient- even if the new knowledge may cost you as a practitioner money.

Create a medical treatment plan not an insurance cost/benefit plan.

Remember “”getting creative”" is often a translation for “”Fraud”".

Demented patients do not benefit any differently from weekly psychotherapy than they do from a volunteer visit.

They actually benefit more from a visit from their dog.

Don’t order a dermatology consult on an actively dying patient.

Find out what quality of life means to your patient before initiating heroic measures in terminal
conditions.

Remember that no one ever has to die in pain.

Greet every day with love in your heart.

You’d be surprised at how few have the grit and the courage to adhere to these standards and demand them in their workplace. I met such a person today. She walked away from money and convenience and ease in the name of ethics and integrity- on multiple occasions. She simply has no stomach for grey areas when it comes to doing the right thing. She has paid dearly both personally and professionally for these high standards.

comfortable salary $320,000

retirement plan $1,000,000

health benefits $1,500,000

vacation, etc $600,000

ability to look self in mirror priceless- & that comes with a free dose of positive role modeling
for her kids.

What are you teaching your kids?

What do you see when you look yourself in the mirror?

A man went into the local Big and Tall Man’s store several times looking for a job. Finally, on his seventh visit, the store’s owner told him, “I will tell you what. I have this suit here on the shelf that has been here for years. I cannot find anyone to buy it. I have some errands to run, so if you will watch the store while I am out, you will get your chance. If you can sell this suit while I am gone, you will have yourself a job.”

A few hours later, the store’s owner returns to find the man
grinning from ear to ear, his clothes in shreds.

The owner was horrified, “What in the world happened to you?”

The man responded, “I sold the suit!”

The owner queried further, “Okay, you sold the suit, but what
happened to your clothes?!?”

“Well,” he said nodding, “The guy loved the suit, but his
seeing eye dog was really mad.”

————

How many half-truths or white lies would you have told to get the sale and the job? I hope your answer is “None.” But, the truth is, not everyone is that honest.

Did the wannabe sales person tell the blind man that the suit was ugly? Not very likely. But hey, the customer was blind and did not know it was an ugly suit. And his friends probably won’t say anything to him about the suit since they know he is blind. Further, the blind man did love his new suit! So, what could be wrong with this?

All too often in the business world, honesty is not black and white, but various shades of gray. People who consider themselves Christians think little or nothing of exaggerating the features or benefits of a product or service they are selling. They believe “white lies” are ok. They reason with themselves that “Everyone else is doing it.”

But of course as Christians, we have an extra obligation to be honest in all our dealings with others, regardless of whether they will ever know or not. We are called to live to a higher standard.

Colossians 3:22 says:

“Obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not
only when their eye is on you and to win their favor,
but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord.”

If you find it difficult to avoid exaggerating and telling little “white lies” in the course of your daily living, you will be challenged even further when your family’s well-being and lifestyle are on the line. The responsibility of taking care of your family could very well push you to make decisions in your work you would probably never make outside of your job environment.

In our story above, our salesman isn’t even trying to justify his actions based on truth and honesty. He did not feel a need to.

He told the truth when he pointed out how well the suit fit the man. This truth would have been something the blind customer could have attested to by the feel of the fit. So you could say our salesman was honest in this regard.

When our salesman told his customer the suit looked good on him, how could he have done so if honesty was in his heart? This was not even a “white lie”, but an outright lie. Even the store’s owner agreed with the seeing eye dog — it was an ugly suit!

In the real world of business, a “white lie” could be something as simple as what is considered Standard Operating Practice in the car sales industry. If a buyer tells the salesman he wants this model in “blue”, the car salesman is instructed to tell the customer that he can get this car in “blue”, and proceed to show the “white” car as a sample. When all is said and done, the car salesman is instructed to sell the customer the “white” car because that is the one in stock. In the car sales industry, it is assumed that the client does not really care whether the car is “blue” or “white”. Therefore, it is okay to tell the customer a little “white lie” about whether they can get the customer a “blue” car or not.

Of course, this is only an example. Hundreds of examples exist in every industry, where the little “white lie” is considered okay and just a part of the industry’s Standard Operating Procedures. I am certain that if you applied just a few minutes of consideration to this question, you could think of dozens of examples within your own business where the little “white lie” is a perfectly acceptable means of conducting business.

The desire to be looked upon favorably by your customers and your co-workers is strong. Yet, you must always exercise caution in the statements you make, because failure to meet the expectation when you have exaggerated your ability to reach it, hurts your status and your business more in the long run, than complete honesty up front.

This is back to Business 101 — “Under Promise and Over Deliver.” It is imperative to the long-term viability of your business to meet the expectations you sell to your customers. Your clients have a strong need in being able to trust in you and your business.

Whether you are a Christian or not, “white lies” and “exaggerations” systematically erode your most valuable asset — your customers’ and co-workers’ faith in you. Can you really afford to pay the long-term price of this sort of behavior? Each time you find yourself in the position to have to make this choice, the final decision will be yours to make. Choose wisely.

“I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God
and man.” -Acts 24:16

Whizzing in perpetual motion the minds of those in the Online Think Tank never stop considering all sides to all issues in their quest to come up with the best decisions and solutions for mankind. Recently a topic came up which pits capitalism against socialism in the ultimate challenge as one gentleman who worked 30 years in an R and D research project is now giving it all away.

Thus he stated that giving it away is best for humanity. Well yes in a way it is pretty nice of him. I agree that if you have an idea or concept that giving it is better for humanity and yet there is nothing wrong with making a profit either. I also believe that Bill Gates did give away much of what he produced if you will recall. In fact he did so well the government told him to stop it. No free browsers with the operating systems said FTC.

William Gates III continues to give away gifts to the world; he and Warren Buffet. Indeed, I give away lots of information, concepts and stuff as well. Before retirement we gave away our services often as well and carefully to the right people too. Much of the information I put out to the World now is simply to do the right thing and I have seen the World make good use of it.

I completely live up to my words and we always give to the community and we always have. Yet many say that most businesses are full of rhetoric and only PR their good deeds. That is unfortunate and sometimes it makes me wish I hadn’t when I read the horrific things people say about entrepreneurs. If you condemn entrepreneurs then do not take this personally, as everyone does this, because they do not understand.

It is unfortunate that socialist are so quick to condemn me, as an entrepreneur. But to me it proves that they do not have all the facts, are not observant in their observations and thus their rhetoric comment are best saved for their mirrors. I hope this article is hard-hitting and makes you think in your quest to be the best in 2007.

“The time for fixing every essential right on a legal basis is while our rulers are honest and ourselves united. From the conclusion of this war we shall be going down hill. It will not then be necessary to resort every movement to the people for support. They will be forgotten, therefore, and their rights disregarded. They will forget themselves, but in the sole faculty of making money… The shackles, therefore, which shall not be knocked off at the conclusion of this war, will remain on us long, will be made heavier and heavier.” – Thomas Jefferson

Henry Kissinger made a presentation to the Bilderbergs in Evian, France in 1984; wherein he spoke of the need for society to deal with the right wing religious extremists in order to prepare the Earth for acceptance by alien cultures. Although he spoke of the benefit of a common goal for the Nations of the Earth in the advent of the end of the Cold War, it is entirely possible these world leaders are working to a new Revolution like Jefferson was still aware was needed after the end of the American Revolutionary War. It is my sincere hope that this is the case and that they have something like ‘Star Trek’ in mind for us. Here is Jefferson’s letter to another high Mason who helped bring the U.S. into being and who Jefferson had spent a lot of time with when he was Ambassador to France. That was a time when Jefferson received the ‘Great Seal of the United States’ from some unidentified party (as the story goes, it may have been connected with Napoleon’s time in the Great Pyramid).

“I do not believe with the Rochefoucaults and Montaignes, that fourteen of fifteen men are rogue. I believe a great abatement from that proportion may be made in favor of general honesty. But I have always found that rogues would be uppermost, and I do not know that the proportion is to strong for the higher orders… These set out with stealing the people’s good opinion, and then steal from them the right of withdrawing it by contriving laws and associations against the power of the people themselves.”

Since he knew the association of his friends like Franklin, Paine, Hancock and Adams were in control; was he averse to their designs? Would he recognize any kind of government that was contemplated in the founding documents of the U.S. if he were alive today? Most people who read these documents agree that if you were to live according to their intents you would be in jail for treason or some other charges. The current leaders are no less connected and part of this same octopus that grows new heads and expands like a Medusa every few years. They deny they are interested in religion and politics yet they proudly point to the Templars who clearly were. It isn’t just Masons who are part of this octopus as we have seen. In Piatigorsky’s book Who’s Afraid of the Freemasons from 1997 he makes a circuitous attempt to show Mason’s are a kind of religion. They say that all religious denominations are represented in their organization. This is true; there are many hypocrites in religions and they will join whatever makes economic sense or fills some power need, as Jefferson has stated. Shackled at first with such ideas that more money can be had through association with this network, or MORE of prestige, or MORE of anything, many do join. Few are chosen to rise up and become better men without perspiration and perspicacity. They can say all they want about themself but what pray tell do they DO?

I believe I have already shown in other books that they are a religion in the words of Paine, MacDari and others. They are a religion that believes any good person when properly exposed to the truth (their ascending teaching) will do what they think is right. Here is one of the statements that we MUST consider! It is the words of Adam Weishaupt who founded the Illuminati in the 1700′s and whose followers will play an important role in the rest of this book and your life. (Cecil Rhodes who started the Boer War and left his diamond fortune to the Round Table/Committee of 300 is just one of them.)

“By this plan, we shall direct all mankind in this manner. And, by the simplest means, we shall set in motion and in flames. The occupations must be so allotted and contrived that we may, in secret, influence all political transactions.”

I will not pretend to give the final answer or try to compete with the likes of Alexis de Toqueville as I open doors to the closets of those in power and their predecessors in this book. I will simply try to make interesting possibilities worth further research become apparent. Some of these ‘possibilities’ will be too far out or weird to appeal to some readers, but heck what can I say? They often were weird for me too. Here is one seldom heard about a character or three that deserve looking into.

SILAS DEANE: – This is a ‘fella’ who arranged for all the Masonic leaders of Europe to send troops to help the American War for Independence. He worked with Beaumarchais who was a known French monarchist spy (he also wrote the Barber of Seville and other books made into operas) and arms supplier.

I suggest the arms supplier really was Pierre Dupont de Nemours’ family. He finalized the armistice between Britain and the US and was the gunpowder supplier to both sides. He came to America to live near the Randolph’s of Jefferson and the Hapsburgs who are Holy Roman Emperors. He founded the armaments industries referred to in Eisenhower’s exit speech.

“1737-89, political leader and diplomat in the American Revolution, b. Groton, Conn. A lawyer and merchant at Wethersfield, Conn., he was elected (1772) to the state assembly and became a leader in the revolutionary cause. He was (1774-76) a delegate to the Continental Congress, which sent (1776) him as diplomatic agent to France. There Deane worked with Pierre de Beaumarchais in securing commercial and military aid for the colonies, obtaining supplies that were of material help in the Saratoga campaign (1777). He recruited a number of foreign officers, such as the Marquis de Lafayette, Casimir Pulaski, Baron von Steuben, and Johann De Kalb. Late in 1776, Congress sent Benjamin Franklin and Arthur Lee to join Deane. Together they arranged (1778) a commercial and military alliance with France. Deane, however, was soon recalled by Congress and was faced with accusations of profiteering made against him by Lee. Embittered, unable to clear himself, and accused as a traitor after publication of some pessimistic private letters, Deane lived the rest of his life in exile. In 1842 Congress voted $37,000 to his heirs as restitution and characterized Lee’s audit of Deane’s accounts ‘a gross injustice.’

Bibliography: See C. Isham, ed., The Deane Papers, 1774-1790 (5 vol., 1887-91); biography by G. L. Clark (1913).” (2)

But we must not assume these wars are much more than an Orwellian de-population game in some Hegelian ‘play both ends against the middle’ gambit that ensures certain parties will finance and arm whoever gives them what they want. For example we have the Hessians who had been the only trained standing army at this juncture fighting on the side of the British monarch who also financed the other side. Those Hessians were working with or for Mayer Amschel Rothschild at the castle of William of Hesse who was a founding funding member of Weishaupt’s version of the Illuminati. The Hesse-Battenberg and Hapsburgs or other Royals always had the likes of Rothschilds or De Medicis who they were involved with in secrets beyond the pale of most people’s imagination.

The Hapsburgs are Merovingians too and here are some notes about the ancestry of the current heir of the Holy Roman Empire or House of Hapsburg that include the wise Quakers who located in Pennsylvania colony and no doubt kept in touch with their ancestry. Yes, the Hapsburgs were very much a part of the region where Pierre Dupont de Nemours came and founded the American armaments businesses after he arranged the end of the Revolutionary War.

“The recent marriage of Archduke Karl Thomas of Austria to Baroness Francesca Thyssen-Bornemisza and the birth of their son is of some genealogical interest. Archduke Karl Thomas is, after his father (Crown Prince Otto), first in line to inherit the positions of Head of the House of Hapsburg, claimant to the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, and principal heir of the Holy Roman Empire.

As is increasingly the case with young titled Europeans, both Archduke Karl Thomas and Baroness Francesca have some American ancestry. Archduke Karl Thomas’s American ancestry has already appeared in print [The American Genealogist, vol 29, p. 139], and will not be reprinted here.

The American ancestry of the Thyssen-Bornemisza family has been referred to, obliquely, over the years, but has never, to my knowledge, been fully explored. The following material, taken primarily from the 1914 Harlan genealogy, should not be considered either exhaustive or definitive, but as a first draft. {They also have connections that will become apparent as the reader goes through this book to Long Island and some shady goings-on there, as we see during the period of the slave trade.}

Almost Every Failure Of Life Can Be Traced Back To A Compromise Of Personal Integrity.

Josephson Institute of Ethics issued this survey. These statistics reveal the direction that society is moving.

• 38% of all high school students said they had stolen something from a store in the past year.

• 25% of religious students admitted to stealing from their parents.

• 93% admitted to lying to their parents.

• 28% admitted to lying to get a job.

• 74% of the high school students confessed to cheating at least once in the past year.

• 91% “satisfied with my own ethics and character.”

• 97% “it is important for me to be a person with good character!”

The greatest need in society is character. Many individuals have built their lives on a foundation of compromise and mediocrity – only to discover their character cannot withstand the mounting pressures of life. Without strong character everything you achieved will crumble and fall.

Principle vs. Theory:

I have determined to build my life on principle rather than theory. I don’t negotiate my principles just because situations or people alter. Regardless of the cost, I do not compromise the standards by which I live my life. This high standard often results in me walking alone. However, when others embrace the same principles they will be walking with me.

This is the law of attraction in motion. The law states that two individuals who live according to the same standard will always move in the same direction and ultimately cross each others path. I encourage you to attach to those who sharpen your character. Unless you do your life will soon crumble before your very eyes!

Take Action:

• Who is the most ethical person you know?

• What characteristics do you admire in that person?

• Why is character so important to them?

• If that question were asked of those who know you, how many would first think of you?

If You desire to go to the next level in life check out my coaching program!

Robb Thompson Legacy Coaching was created with you in mind.
