Life is all about choices and what you make of it.
Honesty and sincerity are rarities. Sly people are inevitably everywhere, wherever you go, whether it be on street corners or in professional settings. Integrity and self-worth are only important in public. Behind the scenes, consider them non-existent. Simplistically speaking, I see no difference between a thief and someone as respectable as a doctor; one is just better at execution. Life is all about short cuts. Even with hard work, there are short cuts. Take this road and be damned. Don't take this road and be screwed. Competition within self should drive ourselves to persevere. However, competition between others puts us back to our animalistic instincts.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, the more I live, I'm realizing life is not what it appears to be.
