In any part of life, either business or personal, wouldn’t you want to deal with honest people?   Some people feel it’s okay to bend the rules as far as they can without breaking the rules.  There are also those who think it’s okay to break the rules if it benefits them but not okay if it benefits others.  No matter how you look at the situation, it’s better to be honest with yourself and others.  You will get a lot farther in life.

So the next time you make a new friend or business contact, invite them to play golf.  You may learn a lot about them that you wouldn’t have known otherwise.
