Simple! Am I accountable to (A) God, or (B) the dollar?
About two percent of all of us will answer correctly, and live lives of success and purpose, inwardly knowing we have peace with our Creator, who is our Father.
About ninety-eight percent of us will make the issue complex.
Notice, my first response -- "simple." The issue is a simple one.
But the dollar is not a jealous god. You can worship and serve it, and also worship and serve plenty of other gods. It doesn't care. The dollar's rule book basically says, if it makes sense for the bottom line, do it, and if not, don't. Take advantage of people when and where you can (they're a commodity like anything else), but always watch your back because if you get caught you're in trouble! And oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.

Anyone who owns or is building a company should have an "unattainable goal" written down. What is an "unattainable goal?" This is a goal that you know is difficult if not impossible to achieve, but is good for the world. For example, my goal is to eliminate rush-hour traffic and reduce the number of cars on the road by showing corporations how to utilize technologies to allow employees to work from home. I know it is difficult to reach this goal. But if I live every second toward this goal, I know I'll make all my decisions ethically.
