Al Gore, perhaps the biggest con-artist of our time, has once again been caught in a blatant lie. While I am not an expert on global warming, and have no idea about the truth, I find it difficult to believe there is such a thing any more. I certainly don’t believe the experts are all that concerned. Otherwise, why would the leading proponents not live by their own words?

Global warming may be a valid threat, one we should all plan for, however it has been so difficult to siphon out the hypocrisy and lies, I don’t take it seriously anymore.

I wasn’t a skeptic two years ago.

Are you a liar? Do you ever find yourself being hypocritical – telling people to do one thing while you do something else? I see these foolish acts in my industry every day. Someone will say something on their blog, and then two days later tell something completely contradictory. Makes you wonder if these “experts” have any idea what they are talking about, or if they even care.

Be careful what you say or do, people will take notice. If you’re not living by your own words, they’re not going to do business with you.

Usually we say things we know we’ll regret when we react to a situation emotionally rather than taking a step back and reacting logically. There are a few things I have said that I wish that I can take back, but I can’t.

I’m not just referring to our personal lives, but things we do in business too.

For instance, I have responded negatively to other peoples’ industry-related blog posts. While some constructive criticism is okay, at times, I have probably crossed the line from opinionated to just plain rude. Regrettably, those careless remarks will likely follow me around Internet for years to come.

In today’s day and age, you really have to be careful about what you say and do. Once word hits the Internet, goes viral, and multiplies – it will be nearly impossible to retract and defuse.

Have you ever discredited your professionalism by saying something you shouldn’t have?
