Not Ranked
I find that very many people and businesses now consider the short term to be all-important. Few people seem to consider the long term effects of their short term actions. If I do such-&-such, I can make a few extra bucks today, so what if I screw someone for it. I am now at retirement age and the younger people in business drive me crazy. They almost all seem to have this ultra short term vision of every transaction.
I have always believed that my word was absolutely golden. I also believe that it takes a very long time to build a solid reputation and just one stupid action to lose it.
