I've lost my job today because of the recession, i started that new job the 5th of january. They can't keep me since the company activity slowed down a lot, which made me think of my situation. You know, im the kind of guy who makes the things straight, very honest and hard working, always positive. I think i've stolen a candy when i was a kid and felt so ashamed i made nightmares for days afterwards, not to mention when i stole it my heart was beating like crazy. My mom was the kind of woman who would raise my brother and I in very high ethic standards, always being polite to people, honest and help people who needs it.
Now im a grown man, i think it's the most -ev way of raising kids, honesty leads you nowhere, you should spend your time being an hypocrit, looking for angles to maximize your winnings. If you play by the rules, you lower your chances to succeed, because the vast majority of people will take shortcuts while you take the long way. Im not even sad or angry, this is something i've learnt today. From now on, i'll be taking shortcuts shorter than the ones i was talking about, in all legality of course.
I have an iview tomorrow for a bank, wish me luck.

omg worst advice ever. I have an ethics course this semester and this is a required text. I will definitely burn it once the course is done.
To OP, good things come to good people. Don't be a prude, keep living honestly bro. Things will change. |

You're a highly ethical person and you're in finance? Wrong industry imo...
Not saying taking the high road is always better or worse... just that certain fields necessitate a certain kind of ruthlessness or personality to do well. |

Your problem sir is that you are confusing success with money... sadly that is quite common.

I agree with baal, there is more to life than money. I'd be much happier with a more modest income while being prosperous in other areas of life that actually mean something. Of course, you don't want to be poor, so you must be willing to bend some ideals to a certain degree. Whenever I'm faced with any sort of moral dilemma, I try to imagine myself as an old man on his death bed, or being terminally ill. Can I say that I'm happy about the decisions I've made, when materials things mean absolutely nothing. |

Hate to say it but I agree with OP. Everyone is always looking out for themselves first, I mean why wouldn't they? All those "truly" nice people always end up with the short end of the stick. Don't get me wrong, there are nice people in the world who do nice things, however, these nice people are already well off and got what they want. It's kind of sad tho that it took you this long to realize this. You must have lived a very sheltered life.
"I am very religious. When I deserve something and don't get it, I'll ask God for it. If that doesn't work, I go out and make it happen." |
