Duty, Honor and Courage

One of my favorite series is CARRIER on PBS. It's about the lives of men and women on the USS Nimitz. If you like the movie, Top Gun, episode 5 is really cool with F-18s. I knew military service men and women and their family sacrificed a lot, but this reality show/documentary brings it in perspective. It also shows their values, team work, and patriotism. Regardless of what you think about the Iraq war.

I worked with the Service men and women. I also worked in the private sector, but there's nothing like working in a team, all working toward a common goal for our country. Duty, honor and courage are what they live by. You can still watch the complete episodes on-line.

Sexist is okay and racist is not?

Regardless if you agree with Hillary's position or NOT! I'm surprised there aren't too many people upset by the sexist comments out there. How come our society is not outraged with 'iron my shirt' Hillary comments? On the other hand, if someone says to Obama, 'polish my shoes,' how would the media react? So it's not okay to be outright racist, but it's okay to be sexist? Whatever excuses some people gave to make it okay to say these things to label woman who goes after what they're fighting for. What if your daughter or grand daughter wants to be the future President? What is women's worth in the family and in our society?

• "When it comes to your money, no one will ever care for it, need it, or respect it more than you" "never work with someone who operates on commission. It can raise a conflict of interest when he gets paid only if he buys or sells actively in your name"
• Money will never define who you are. You always define your money. Don't fall into the trap of buying fancy items and temptations. None of that matters. What matters is how you feel about yourself. When you do make money, save it for the future. rather than spend it. Don't spend it and waste it. Never, ever get into credit card debt. Have a life you'll enjoy, instead of running away from.
