Fairy Tales

Fairy tales are indeed timeless, and three favorites provide vivid reminders of simple rules for life:
  • Be Credible - The Boy Who Cried Wolf  - Once credibility is destroyed, it is difficult to impossible to restore.
  • Recognize the Importance of Each Individual - Cinderella  -  Neglect, mistreatment and disregard of individual worth are morally wrong behaviors, which also preclude achievement of maximum ideas, experiences and perspectives.  There may be brilliant, aspiring inventors, executives, teachers, artists, physicians or friends who we are failing to recognize and encourage.
  • Seek TruthThe Emperor's New Clothes  - We need friends and associates who will tell us what we need to hear, not what others might think we want to hear.
