Joe, it is a sure sign that someone’s “celebrity” has faded when no one talks about them at all.

Susan, wouldn’t that be great? The only time we would talk about unethical businesses is when we tell our grandchildren how it use to be.

I’ve been reading a lot of business blogs lately and am pleased to see that many, like you , are talking about building a business based on good ethical behavior. Let’s all keep talking about it and practicing what we preach. Maybe someday it will be a topic that no longer needs to be discussed!

I think that the idiom “bad publicity is better than no publicity” should only be reserved to people who are already celebrities. They need to be talked about in order for them to maintain their “popularity” in the eyes of the general public. If they aren’t being talked about it means that they don’t matter anymore – which is bad for a celebrity.

What makes it so bad for normal people to have these bad things all over the place is that nobody really cares about them so when all of a sudden everybody knows something terrible about them it can absolutely destroy their life.

What a great post! You are so right. I loved your quote:

“Always put your best foot forward. You don’t want it to come back and kick you in the behind!”
