Yesterday one of the top rates articles was about not lying and today on the front page is an article about a guy who actually did lie (albeit not the kind of lie that I suppose is that significant) to his success.

I guess the moral of the story is that the truth is a tool.



There are different kinds of success. Getting cash is one. Maintaining integrity in the face of adversity another.

Also I wonder if the (relatively white) lie was necessary in this case.
