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...

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!

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!

You failed to mention that you have a warm, kind heart, too.

Very nice of you to say so, my friend. Hope I can live up to your kind words. ~ Gershon

There are a few more layers of kindness, humility and lord knows what else ~

I am also privileged, I get to read your writing. ;0). I think relationships are a better marker of success.

Aw, how really kind of you to write these words, Richard. Here's getting to know each other better and better through our writings and warblings. ~ Cardinal Sinner

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

... 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!

Tom, it's very, very nice of you to say so. I hope this finds you in great spirits, for truly: You are a jolly good fellow, my friend! Happy Weekend, Gershon

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

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
