Principals

 "When people value their Privileges over their Principals, they soon lose both"  This is the sign I have seen now for a few days posted on a local church marque.  I see this sign every day on my way to the office, and about every week or so, it is changed to another quote.  I don't know the author or who makes the changes to the sign, however, it is usually a message of sorts to get you thinking about what is really important in life.

 "When people value their Privileges over their Principals, they soon lose both"  to me is a very strong message, and got me thinking about many different thoughts.  I love these kind of messages....usually a play on words, or an analogy that has a couple of meanings, or just some kind of motivational message. 

 "When people value their Privileges over their Principals, they soon lose both" Why did this one hit me, after going by these messages for many years?  I do know, and that is what got me thinking. It might get a lot of people thinking........We are very Privileged people, and many need to work on their Principals. 

 "When people value their Privileges over their Principals, they soon lose both" So is it worth thinking about? I think so.....what do you think

Good Morning Dick,
I like that--there's a lot of truth in those words, isn't there?  It seems that so many people have abandoned principles.  Sad.  Thank you for sharing.

Hi Dick, Great message, it certainly gets me thinking. Too many people are preoccupied with what they "deserve" that they will step on any toes to get it. I would rather be able to sleep at night, thanks again for sharing.

I see the same sign everyday when I drop my daughter off at her daycare!  I felt the same way reading it.  I constantly tell my newly teenage son that he doesn't really have any rights, too many times he thinks he is entitled to the cell phone, the i-pod, the video games, the computer, the tv.  It's amazing to me how his attitude snaps back in place when and his principals get re-adjusted when he doesn't have those privileges!  Even as adults we often need the same reminders!

Dick and Sandy, this is definitely a good reminder that our principals (integrity) needs to be our first priority in life. Everything after that is just the window dressing. Thanks for the post.
