*Subject:* *The Morality of Dishonesty*
*A few years ago in a small town robbers entered a bank and
one of them shouted: "Don't move! The money belongs to the
bank. Your lives belong to you." Immediately all the people
in the bank laid on the floor quietly and without panic.*
*_This is an example of how the correct wording of a sentence _*
*_can make everyone change their world view. _*
*One woman lay on the floor in a provocative manner. The*
*robber approached her saying, " Ma'am, this is a robbery*
*not a rape. Please behave accordingly."*
*_This is an example of how to behave professionally, and _*
*_focus on the goal._*
*While running from the bank the young robber (who had a*
*college degree) said to the older robber (who barely finished*
*elementary school): "Hey, maybe we should count how*
*much we stole." The older man replied: "Dont be stupid.*
*It's a lot of money so let's wait for the news to be told how*
*much money was taken from the bank."*
*_This is an example of how life experience is more important_*
*_than a degree._*
*After the robbery, the manager of the bank said to his*
*accountant: "Let's call the cops." The accountant said:*
*"Wait, before we do that let's add the $800,000 to the*
*robbery of that we took to ourselves a few months ago*
*and just say that it was stolen."*
*_This is an example of taking advantage of an opportunity._*
*The following day it was reported in the news that the bank*
*was robbed in of $ 3 million. The robbers counted the*
*money, but they found only $1 million so they started to*
*grumble. "We risked our lives for $1 million, while the*
*bank's management robbed two million dollars without*
*blinking? Maybe its better to learn how to work the*
*system, instead of being a simple robber."*
*_This is an example of how knowledge can be more useful _*
*_than power._*
*_Moral_**: Give a person a gun, and he can rob a bank . Give a*
*person a bank, and he can rob everyone.*
