Ethics and Time

Hey hey, welcome welcome! friends from far away land....Welcome to Singapore!

I jus did an assignment on ethics in my organizational behaviour, haha so got a lot of thots in my head now....

Jus a quote:
"The results of an ethical decision are often uncertain; no one always tell us whether we have made the right decision. There are no magic formulas, nor is there computer software that ethical dilemmas can be plugged into for a solution. Even if they mean well, most businesspeople will make ethical mistakes. Thus, there is no substitute for critical thinking and the ability to take responsibility for our own decisions."

I wonder how ethical we all are...

wait, sidetrack, woohoo! Man Utd won 4-0!! Rocks!! haha!

I believe that when we go out to work in the future, we will face many ethical challenges. Ethics, to those of you who are from OCS, should not be unfamiliar with this term.

Jus a possible scenario in the future, you are a manager of a well known advert design company. You have a few clients coming to you, wanting you to advertise their product for them. One particular buyer, e.g Justea, actual wants to bribe you so that you are willing to advertise for them, knowing that they face fierce competition from Coke, Pepsi, Sprite, more well known brands.

So you, as the manager, should you accept the bribe, that you can keep for yourself, which no one in your company will find out? But by accepting this, you are endangering the good reputation of your company, since we all know justea taste like chui....haha, or at least not as good as Coke, Sprite and Pepsi.

Yo guys, so what would you do?

Actually right, how much is ethics worth? What's the use of being ethical?
Quote:

"Omission lying is intentionally not informing the channel member of any differences, problems, or negative issues relating to the product, service, or company that significantly affects awareness, intention, or behavior. When a lie becomes unethical in business, it is based on the context and intent to distort the truth. Some business people may believe that one must lie a little or that the occasional lie is sanctioned by the organization. The question you need to ask is whether lies are distorting openness and transparency, and other values that are associated with ethical behavior."

Some people think that actually if you're ethical, you will not succeed in business, you need to be unscrupulous, and use under table methods, n like do loyalty test....hahaha.
But wait, let me add another dimension to it. By accepting the bribe, you will actually save hundreds of job in your compnay, which is facing a tight financial situation, only justea is able to pay upfront, Coke and Pepsi they all can only pay much later. Does this makes accepting the bribe ethical?


Time, is something that affect every single one of us on earth. We are bound by it, or freed by it.
Haven u heard this enough? "I don't have enough time...no time la....wah...why so little time?"
Well, everyone has time, you'll only have no time, when you die. And ALL of us, have the same amount of time, you, me, barack obama, rooney, adam khoo, lee kuan yew, jack neo....no one has more time than other people.

It's just that more successful people, know how to "create" time for themselves. When you look at very smart or successful people, it's not necessary that they are really smarter or more hardworking, it's just that....they are really good at managing their time!

We are at an age, where we can be considered at our prime, these few years of our lives, will very much determine our future. Every decision we make, can potentially change our lives. And you have be think very carefully about what to do with your time now...We are all sportsman, we all know how a millisecond can change for example the contact of the ball. That timing, might be the difference between a winning home run, or a pop fly. In my field of work, Time cannot play a more important role. A one second delay in my command, can potentially cause an air catastrophe that is just too scary to imagine. Time waits for no one. Really. No even if you are the president, or the CDF.

The one who control his time, will find himself, more free than someone who don't actively control his time. When you don't take control of your own time, other people will take control of it for you. People asking you for supper, go, or dun go? It's up to you. No one can decide how you want to spend you time. No one. You are the master of your time in all sense of the word.

Imagine, if you have all the time in the world, what would you do?

So guys, be the master of your time, and go succeed wherever you are in life.
