And The Beat Goes On......

Well, it is Friday once again and another week is in the books. I hope everyone enjoys the weekend ahead.

Today, no pictures in my post, no silly anecdotes, no President Bush jokes, and no silly obeservations. Let's talk serious at the beach for a change.

When will people finally realize that in the end, we are all judged based upon our own merits rather than holding others down or trying to make others look bad? All too often in business and in life, people stomp on others to make themselves look good. It's a short term high, because in the end, people's true colors come out. I feel sorry for people like that. People with no principles, no confidence, and no purpose. They meander through life with no purpose or sense of direction and only achieve their high in the face of someone else's low. They are a sad breed. They are always seen for who they are in the end....that's the good part.

I like people who have convictions, people who are loyal, people who don't sell out in the face of adversity, people who stand for what they believe in despite the consequence or the injustice they face for it, and people who are genuine.

Me, I am the kind of person who is loyal. When I love someone, or when I am passionate about something, I see them/it through. I don't bail no matter how much adversity is thrown my way. I battle for the people I love and for the things I believe in and I'd never sell out or sell someone out to take the heat off myself. I don't try to make myself look good by bringing others down. I don't try to make myself look good.period. I like to be judged on my character, my loyalty, my actions, my passion, and for my convictions.

Life throws us all kinds of curveballs. We come face to face with people of poor character all too often. If we believe in ourselves, in our dreams, and in the people and principles we hold dear, there's nothing we can't overcome.

The beat goes on.........
