AdvertisementJust a scoop full(Nov. 4)--Honesty is a big item to me. I do not say that to elevate myself or so you will think more of me. I do say that because it is something that I have been dealing with--in an employee--for quite some time. It would often be small lies, even where the truth would be better. I have only known three people in my life that I thought were habitual liars. When it is to that extreme, I think that would be just as hard to break as for an alcoholic to overcome his drinking problem. All four of my boys were adopted and came from dysfunctional families. At least one or more of them were taught to lie and steal. That is a hard item to break, particularly if you are shown at an early age that it is all right. I have told my boys many times that if I had a choice of whether they would be the biggest stud football player and known all across the nation or, on the other hand, just an ordinary boy that was honest, I would definitely choose the honest kid over one known all over the nation and dishonest. If you see these traits of lying in any of your kids, I challenge you to break that at the earliest stage possible. Don't wait until it is out of control. Once someone lies to you, they can tell you the truth and you won't believe them. I was talking to a young man who works with financial investments. He is young but seems very intelligent. He said in the 1970s the government put 13 percent more money into circulation for 2 years in a row by printing that much extra money. He said this past year the government has put 120 percent more money in circulation. He quoted one of our experts on finances who said if they had to they would get in an airplane and release a lot of money to get the economy going. That mentality scares me. A lot of experts think we will have run-away inflation. The only advantage I can see to that is that may be the only way I can get my debts paid. But trust me, there is no way I could stay out of debt. That is just not in my comfort zone. Advertisement
