this is something i have believed all my life. i have trouble lying in critical situations. sometimes it has affected me in a negative way in the short term, but never in the long term. most recent example being starting up my professional career. I'm not someone who engages in office politics, have my own thoughts and convictions about everything i hear or know. i was asked to speak "diplomatically", never did that and now everyone knows me as the truth guy. they have a problem finding the truth, i tell them and they get the solution. is this something good or bad? no idea. but will keep this part of me alive no matter what

The sad reality is most of the folks in corporate have no opinion of their own, they just go with the flow and agree to whatever the other person says. Guess, no one wants to step out of their comfort zones.
discomfort is my comfort zone
I also never lie unless it profits me.
great
