>What's your word worth to you?

My dad taught me the importance of being honest early on. It was very important to him and it's important to me. I teach my kids the same thing.

If you're a dishonest person, everyone will know it and treat you accordingly. It'll be the first thing out of someone's mouth when asked about you. It's not a shortcut. Even though some people can win that way, most don't.
