Digg it UP - Principle Wins
Do you have a dream about how you can realize your best small business ideas? How you respond to this dream will decide whether you'll be successful, or whether you remain where you are.If you continue to dream, you'll never see your dream come true.If so, your dream will be a substitute for action. If you on the other hand act and make it happen, your dream will be a model for your action.Everyone have a dream. Have your own business, to become financially independent, own a beauti
Have I ever been offered these sorts of opportunities? You bet--even at times in my career when I needed the money! I can honestly say to you I have always and will always say no. And not even so much for the sake of the union, but primarily because it’s not who I am. I made a pledge and I plan to keep it. No amount of money for one job is worth giving up on a long term commitment. At the end of the day, I have to look my family in the eye and know that I am who I say I am. I can’t do that knowing that I gave up a part of me so I coul
As part of a subcategory within my “Why Study Math” series, I am pleased to introduce a new group or articles that will touch upon some of the higher branches of mathematics. The purpose of these writings will be to introduce people—particularly the lay person—to some of the more advanced reaches of this subject. Many people unfortunately never get to glimpse the fascinating beauty of the higher realms of mathematics such as the Calculus, and far too many are under the mistaken belief that this f
It’s tempting. We see compromise and a lack of ethics all around us to the point that it seems to justify the idea that any means necessary are acceptable to achieve as long as you get the payoff. And, boy, the payoffs are amazing! These hyper-driven types that take no prisoners are driving some nice cars and living in some mighty palatial digs. The last thing you want to be is the guy who’s on the outside looking in. It’s a dog eat dog world and you don’t want to be the milk bone!
So your intense desire to reach the top combined with a lack luster feeling about your current situation, leads you to have that inner dialogue that says it’s OK to break some rules or hurt some people if it means that you get ahead.
Here’s the truth as I see it: you compromise your principles, you can never go back. From here on out, you’ll know that what you did belied who you are and that will torture and inhibit you forever. Going against your core values in order to achieve material gain will forever change the way you view yourself and how others view you. Yes, sooner or later, people find out. Word will get around about your visit to the dark side and you’ll have a lot of fun running away from that.
I’m a union guy, have been for over 20 years. The performers unions have been good to my family and me and I have an impassioned belief in the value of organization. With membership comes a commitment to only work union. But, I see too many examples of members who have cheated on their commitment to our unions by doing nonunion work. In that case, our collective power is weakened as they selfishly pursue more money at all costs.

Getting the best interest rate for your automobile loan may require effort on your part. Many car buyers seek a low rate. A low interest rate may conclude whether a particular car is affordable. In fact, an interest rate reduction of 2% - 3% may lower your monthly car payment by $50, which will save you thousands of dollars on a 60 month term. Here are a few tips to help you get the lowest interest rate possible.Save For a Down PaymentOne way to obtain a low interest rate on an

Consolidating debts online has become ever more popular as a way to deal with increasing debts. The reason for this is obvious. We can log into the Internet in a matter of seconds, type in debt consolidation into a search engine and in the time it takes you to breathe out you will have before you an extensive list of on line services to choose from. But how safe is it to take any of them up? Well this is where you need to dig in and do your research in order to reach an informed decision.

The attacks on Iraqi people are increasing in intensity. Today an explosion hit a cafeteria at the Iraqi parliament, killing at least two MPs and injuring many. What is probably a little more disturbing about this particular attack is that it happened in the so-called Green Zone. This is a particularly heavily barricaded and secured region which houses foreign embassies, headquarters of the occupying forces plus the Iraqi parliament amongst other agencies. This zone was supposed to be impregnably s

For years I’ve always told my students “Don’t give yourself away.” This business will ask a lot of you as you work towards your dream of being a successful, working actor but you can’t compromise who you are in the process. You’ll be pushed to the line morally and ethically but you have to hold firm on what matters to you. In the end, your truth is all you’ve got. In any business, you are your greatest asset. Who you are, what your gifts are, what you stand for, your work ethic, are the most vivid definitions of how you benefit the world around you. Giving up even a part of that weakens the power of your whole being. One union member working “off the card” hurts every member. A chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link.
Stand up for what you believe in and pledge to never comprise yourself in order to get ahead. You don’t need it! Trust in your gifts and your commitment. Legitimate hard work and talent do win out, even when you see those around you taking the low road and seemingly winning. No matter what that little voice may be saying to you in your moments of doubt---principle wins.
