| What You Are Is As Important As What You Do |
It was a sunny Saturday afternoon in Oklahoma City. My friend and
proud father Bobby Lewis was taking his two little boys to play
miniature golf. He walked up to the fellow at the ticket counter
and said, "How much is it to get in?"
The young man replied, "$3.00 for you and $3.00 for any kid who
is older than six. We let them in free if they are six or younger.
How old are they?"
Bobby replied, "The lawyer's three and the doctor is seven, so I
guess I owe you $6.00."
The man at the ticket counter said, "Hey, Mister, did you just win
the lottery or something? You could have saved yourself three bucks.
You could have told me that the older one was six; I wouldn't have
known the difference." Bobby replied, "Yes, that may be true, but
the kids would have known the difference."
As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Who you are speaks so loudly I can't
hear what you're saying." In challenging times when ethics are more
important than ever before, make sure you set a good example for
everyone you work and live with.
