Privilege Matters Not

I am a
white
male
suburban-raised
ivy-league-educated
coddled
spoiled
baby boomer
who 
wasn't tough
enough
to make it
in the
business
world

You 
now
know me
inside
and out...

Rico Leffanta Date: 7/30/2021 11:11:00 AM There is no place for integrity in American business. I recall an Harvard Business School Case Study where the correct answer was how to do the dirty on others, after which I threw in the trash can every employment application I received from an Harvard Business School graduate! Watch out for them in government! Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 7/30/2021 2:42:00 PM The place for integrity in American business is now occupied solely, I feel, by the some businessman. (And not all of them either). ~ Something's rotten, and it's not just in Denmark!

Richard Lamoureux Date: 7/30/2021 7:56:00 AM I am also privileged, I get to read your writing. ;0). I think relationships are a better marker of success.

Here's getting to know each other better and better through our writings and warblings. ~ Cardinal Sinner

Jan Allison Date: 7/30/2021 1:09:00 AM there is a lot more to GW than this!:-) hugs Jan xx Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 7/30/2021 8:52:00 AM Jan, it's very sweet of you to support me like this. I've been trying to make amends for the first part of my life during this, the 'second half.' So far -- so good, perhaps. I sure appreciate your encouragement. ~ Faithful always, Gershon Jan Allison Date: 7/30/2021 1:11:00 AM ... and my sister was handed everything to her on a plate - car house, money and private education to do the same course i did at the local tech college... yet she's lived on benefits (and bank of mum and dad till dad died) for in excess of 35 years!

Quoth Theraven Date: 7/29/2021 8:52:00 PM Gershon, Not the man I know. I know the one of faith-born grace. Fun loving, never pushing or shoving., one who knows a better place. A place in honor. -Richard Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 7/30/2021 8:49:00 AM Richard, I appreciate your kind words. They mean a lot to me... I know myself from the inside out, and it's not the prettiest picture... Am trying to make up for everything in my later years of life. Thanks again, Gershon
