PRACTISE HONESTY : HAVE TO BE AT ALL TIME OR JUST AT THE RIGHT PLACE & TIME?
well.... i just found out that that i would have issues with authority figures if i practise honesty with them.
all this while, being honest has been a part of me all this while... whether it's returning a phone i picked up (which i've been rewarded unexpectedly, well whaddaya say, honesty pays) or returning a credit card to the owner without using it...
some would say i'm just downright dumb, which at certain times i do agree.
but today, while having fire & security drill in my office, i couldnt help but to mention to my supervisor that the panic button on one of the counter are faulty. Guess that doesnt make him happy this morning as he told me to "shut the bloody mouth up" since i cant be considerate to speak at the right time.
i understood his reason for doing that, since IT IS the safety officer from HQ who is conducting the drill this morning, having issues to deal with ppl from HQ is the least of trouble he had in mind.
however it just pops up in my mind suddenly, plus, if u dont voice out security issues during the drill, when is the right time then? plus i'm not voicing it out directly to the officer, but rather in a soft tone to him, my supervisor, and definitely out of the security officer's earshot range!
well i guess just being brutally honest is not right these days. it has to be honest only at the right time and place. for any other time, to hell with it!
now, i was wondering why i did not use the credit card that i picked up then? why would i be so stupid to call the bank to block the card and to ask the rightful owner to get it back from me? heck the card owner didnt even realise she lost her card if i had not informed the bank! i could've bought the GPS unit i've always wanted, and just throw off the card away after that.
well there's just a fine line between being honest and being dumb. and i'm just too dumb to know where the line is. Fit for a Stupidus moronicus here.
