Yes I do. I can see beyond the moment and how easy it would be to round up all these sheep and flay them alive for all they have! I have a tremendously moderating force in my life in the form of my dear Fiance and take full advantage of the positive influence my beloved Mother imparted upon me as a child ( God rest her easy ). I am aware of the intangible world that surrounds me and as I've come through life so far without giving into the temptation to exploit the weakness of others I'm aware of the clarity I'd lose and the relationship with God as an evolved spirit if I were to give over to the material desires and unfettered brutality that lurk in my darkness. It's so hard, some times I just tremble with the wraith; the dragon stirs; what I could aspire to if I gave vent! Good question.

What is a short cut? many people say that anyone under 65 who is financial independent has use some kind of shortcut or "get rich quick scheme". but i am going to have to break that myth by announcing that there is no reason that anyone who is reading this can't be a millionaire in 5 years. remember the only one in life that will ever hold you back is yourself!! You, not your brother, not your mother, even your girlfriend can't hold you if you make a decision.
now to actually answer your question, I'm sure that anyone who was honest with their-self and their life would feel guilty for gaining any amount of success off of unappropriated means. that being said I find it hard for an honest person to go through such an ordeal and remain honest at the end of it. We are all changed by this thing called life, that's what makes it so much fun, you never know what is going to happen next.

I have my moments when I wish I could compromise my morals in order to be more successful, but the moments are short-lived. At the end of the day you have to be able to live with yourself, and frankly, I know I wouldn't be able to if I lied and cheated to get my way.
Not to mention the fact that lying and cheating once is a slippery slope, it becomes that much easier to do it again the next time, and the next, and so on. So no, I don't regret it. I'm glad that I'm loyal and honest, because at the very least, I've managed to attract other loyal and honest people to me, and that's more important than success or fame.

I guess I have a different definition of "sucess" than many. I feel like my life is quite sucessful. My kids know that they are loved, my church family is always there when I need them and I am there for them as well. We have very little under the Christmas tree this year but I pay tithings on all that I make and the Lord has blessed us with an abundance of things we can not put price tag on.
I pray daily for the less fortunate and that includes those that have many worldly things but have lost their soul in getting them. There but for the Grace of God.
I regret only moments in which I was not as selfless as I could have been, and for those mistakes I know that I am forgiven.

shortcut to success gained that way?means fastest failure in what they perceive as success,i don't regret been honest ,its a
great thing to do ,simply cause you are being crystal clear,but
only when i define myself,now i cannot be honest in things that i don't really have to say or comment about,simply because
belongs to you,what you don't say,but you become a slave of what you say

People do whatever they can to survive. It's called the game of life.
Have I ever regretted being honest? No. My honesty is my strength and it has been tested to the highest limit and I'm still honest.

No, because the "other people" always seem to get what's coming to them in the long run. I don't have any trouble sleeping at night, and that's more valuable to me than any potential success I might be able to achieve dishonestly. Plus, it's a lot more rewarding to do it the hard way and know that you did things right.

I'm evil, but I'm honest about it. Does that count?
