A client who does not have a similar value – ethics – as you, is trouble for you.
If you have a boss who is a sociopath, or worse, a mate who is, watch out. They are charismatic by nature, but have no integrity; you can’t expect them to have any ethical dilemma. I have fallen into that trap several times – and ultimately walked away, sometimes at great expense.
Discomfort comes from decisions made that are not in alignment with your core values. “I don’t have a choice” is not true. You do, you just don’t like your choices. Have the fortitude to deal with it.
What people are saying on One Cup of Coffe:
A challenge for older male cap wearers is that, while they like to honour etiquette, they wear caps to cover their baldness – not just for self-esteem but also because they get cold without protective hair. Thoughts?Marilyn
— Marilyn
My answer: Would they have it on during a church service?
It’s always nice to hear from you and see your newsletter’s come in.
— Christina Gwira
Odd though, isn’t it, that men are to take their hats off in church while women are to cover up (wear a hat or scarf)
— Marilyn
My answer: And if you go to a Synagogue, men have their head covered and women not.
I’d be curious to hear why it’s good manners to remove one’s hat inside. What’s the history of that? Without that understanding, it just feels arbitrary.
— Dan
My answer: A man removes his hat to show good manners, especially in front of a lady.
Koszonom szepen a Newslettert. Bar csak a sapka lenne a problema az etikettel!

Mindig örülök a küldeményednek, sajnos az illem egyre inkább kimegy a forgalomból minden formájában megtapasztalom nap, mint nap.
A TV-ben pl. rendszeresen azt mondják valakir?l, hogy “kirúgták” a munkahelyér?l….bármit is hibázott az illet? azt kellene mondani, hogy: elbocsátották, megsz?nt a munkaviszonya stb.
Közismert emberek, m?vészek, politikusok a szép üvegnyel? borospoharat nem a nyelénél fogják (holott csak úgy szép a koccintás hangja is), hanem jól megmarkolják. TV bemondón?k ujjnélküli trikóban ülnek. Ismert középkorú operaénekesn? mélyen kivágott ruhában nyilatkozik és a fonnyadt melle már a kivágásban felt?n?en látszik stb.
