A Man's Character and a Businesses Character

“A man's character is like his house. If he tears boards off his house and burns them to keep himself warm and comfortable, his house soon becomes a ruin. If he tells lies to be able to do the things he shouldn't do but wants to, his character will soon become a ruin. A man with a ruined character is a shame on the face of the earth.” 
― Ralph Moody, Father and I Were Ranchers

All too often business are run without character too. I am not saying that every mistake should count against a business, sometimes business makes poor choices that are the best choices they can make with the information they have at that time. But sometimes business deliberately short-change their staff, misrepresent the product, engage in deliberate price gouging. These things can ruin a business's character. This doesn't mean that the business will fail though they may, but that they are a shame on the face of the earth. While businesses should make decisions with profit in mind, it can not be the sole motivating factor; businesses do need to make decisions with what is right in view as well. I believe it is better to have one's business fail for doing the right things then it is to succeed by doing the wrong thing.

Organizing Tips From The Container Store

The Following is an article from the Container Store. We also have storage items and systems. Also check out our kitchen food storage items, utensils, and appliances. 1. Start in one place If you have several areas in your home you want to get under control, start with just one. You decide which one to start with — is it the area that gives you the biggest headache, or the area that guests to your home most easily see? Whatever your priorities, select one area and stick to it. Many attempts at organization fail when the task of cleaning up the entire house seems daunting and folks give up. When you complete one area, celebrate and then move on to the next. 2. Allow plenty of time Don't expect organization to happen overnight. Depending on the area to be organized, schedule a couple of hours each day to work on getting the area organized.
