According to the 2007 online survey for Junior Achievement and Deloitte & Touche USA LLP, an accounting firm, nearly 40% of teenagers says that you have to lie and cheat to succeed.
The teens said that includes cheating on tests to get ahead, stealing if you are short on cash, and lying if it gets you out of a scrape.
Is breaking rules necessary to make it in life?

NO! Cheating, stealing, and lying are all wrong–under any circumstances.
I don’t believe that bull for a moment!
I believe what it really takes to succeed is a strong belief in God, yourself, determination, perservance, good work ethic, a geniune passion for what you’re doing, and I could go on and on and on.
Again and again, in the book of Proverbs the end of people who reject wisdom, understanding, and knowledge is predicted. Maybe they’ll get ahead in this lifetime, but not in the next.
I could write an entire rant on this subject. LOL.

It will catch up with you in the end! I have two teenage sons and as far as I know they have never cheated in school or in their sports, etc. I am very proud of both of them…..Cindi
