One of my mentors and fellow DealerElite.net member, Mr. Dave Anderson, started one of my favorite articles with this paragraph;

 

“This article will offend far more than it inspires and quite frankly, I could care less. Political Correctness has gone too far. It's run amok. It's draining our country's soul and debilitating corporate cultures. It's time for leaders in business, religious and political sectors to dig deep, find their nerve and reverse the onslaught of political correctness that is creating mediocrity in business and feigned tolerance in society. In other words, it's time to start telling it like it is again, to stop dancing around the tough issues and meet them head on. It's time to worry less about offending and pandering to those in the minority and focus more on what gets the job done.” 

 

In the name of “political correctness”, our culture has lost its way!

 

Isn’t it time we simply started telling the TRUTH again? STOP being “P.C.” and let’s get the job done!

 

Mr. Anderson goes onto say;

 

“The sham of P.C. is that it is done under the guise of tolerance and sophistication, when in fact; it's simply the coward's way out. It's easier to let people play the victim, to allow them to blame the world and to shirk responsibility for their miserable lives. But the hard fact is that not everyone has earned nor do they deserve the same opportunities, recognition or resources. While all have equal value as human beings, there are some people who add far less value to society and business than others yet they fight for more in courtrooms and boardrooms based simply on the fact that they belong and think they are owed more, not because they accomplished and earned more.”

 

Are you serious about life and your future?

 

STOP making excuses for your own shortfalls!

 

You can either LEAD YOURSELF….or you will be led by others!

 

If you don’t like your current situation in life, whether it is work oriented, politically oriented or personally oriented……CHANGE IT!

 

You HAVE to make yourself accountable for:

 

 

  • Investing in your own personal development! Because if you don’t invest in yourself….no one else will…..

 

  • Holding YOURSELF accountable for your own situation! The ONLY one holding you down is yourself!

 

  • Doing everything in your life, legally, ethically and morally correct! Just simply do the RIGHT thing!!!

 

  • Drive yourself to be the BEST every day! That’s EVERY DAY, WITHOUT FAIL, NO EXCEPTIONS!

 

  • Winning! Stop making excuses…..excuses are just a “reasoning of failure”

 

 

STOP KIDDING YOURSELF!!

 

Go FORWARD and CONQUER!!!

I've always said be careful when you point because you've got 3 pointing back at you. I'm so sick of people pointing the blame and not taking responsibility for their actions. If we all call a foul on ourselves things would be alot better off. As Ghandi said, If you want the world to change, you must first change. Helluva slap post, brother. Love it

Thankfully, I lack an internal dialogue.....smile.  Integrity is the key.  Yes, you should treat people with dignity and respect, but is lying or sugar coating to save a fragile ego treating some with dignity or respect?  I say no!!!
