What You Are Is As Important As What You Do padding-bottom: 55.94%;">Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you're saying. －－Ralph Waldo Emerson It was a sunny Saturday afternoon in Oklahoma City. My friend and proud father Bobby Lewis was taking his two little boys to play miniature golf. He walked up to the fellow at the ticket counter and said, "How much is it to get in?" The young man replied, "$3.00 for you and $3.00 for any kid who is older than six. We let them in free if they are six or younger. How old are they?" Bobby replied, "The lawyer's three and the doctor is seven, so I guess I owe you $6.00." The man at the ticket counter said, "Hey, Mister, did you just win the lottery or something? You could have saved yourself three bucks. You could have told me that the older one was six; I wouldn't have known the difference." Bobby replied, "Yes, that may be true, but the kids would have known the difference". As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you're saying." In challenging times when ethics are more important than ever before, make sure you set a good example for everyone you work and live with. 編者按： 一個父親誠實地報出了孩子的年齡，按照規定爲7歲的孩子買了票。售票的人說，他根本無法確定孩子的具體年齡，這位父親完全可以省下那三美元。但這位父親卻回答：“是的，可能你說得很對，但孩子們能分辨出之間的差別。” 爲和你一起工作、生活的人樹立一個好榜樣吧！
