[00:00.28]6.What You Are Is as Important as What You Do


[00:05.40]It was a sunny Saturday afternoon in Oklahoma City. 


[00:10.53]My friend and proud father Bobby Lewis was taking his two little boys to play miniature 1 golf. 


[00:16.73]He walked up to the fellow at the ticket counter and said, “How much is it to get in?”


[00:22.39]The young man replied, “$3.00 for you and $3.00 for any kid who is older than six. 


[00:30.56]We let them in free if they are six or younger. How old are they?”


[00:36.55]Bobby replied, “The lawyer’s three and the doctor is seven, so I guess I owe you $6.00.”


[00:45.80]The man at the ticket counter said, “Hey, Mister, did you just win the lottery 2 or something? 


[00:51.79]You could have saved yourself three bucks 3


[00:54.73]You could have told me that the older one was six; 


[00:57.68]I wouldn’t have known the difference.” 


[00:59.43]Bobby replied, “Yes, that may be true, but the kids would have known the difference.”


[01:06.21]As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Who you are speaks so loudly I can’t hear what you’re saying.” 


[01:14.09]In challenging times when ethics 4 are more important than ever before, 


[01:19.44]make sure you set a good example for everyone you work and live with.
