Hold the Door, Return the Wallet, and Don’t Disappoint Mom

Concepts and ideas we live by: Part I

Not to sound like bad people, but we hate the phrase “business ethics.”

Don’t get us wrong, we do like and respect the phrase’s meaning and what it describes. We just don’t like when those 14 letters are in that exact order.

For some reason, we always confuse that phrase with something that sucks: a miserably boring class, that basically teaches common sense, we had to take (and spend thousands of dollars on) because of required credits.

Instead, we just make sure we do the following:

• Hold Doors: Find ways to help other people out, even when it doesn’t benefit us at all directly.
• Return Wallets: If we don’t feel right about something we did, we admit it and do something about it.
• Don’t Disappoint Mom: Don’t do anything that would possibly upset our Moms, even if she wouldn’t find out about it.

So, to keep things simple, we prefer to say: “Hold Doors”, “Return Wallets” and “Don’t Disappoint Mom.”
