High IQ Can't Cover Bad Ethics
Twelve years ago, a woman went to college in France. He has to work and while in college. He noticed that the transportation system in place was using an "automatic" system, meaning that you buy tickets according to the destination through the machine. Each stop of a public vehicle uses a "self-service" way and is rarely checked by an officer. Even the incidental checks by the officers were almost nonexistent.
After he found the weakness of this system, with his cunning he calculated the possibility of being caught by the officer for not buying tickets is very small. Since then, he always rides public transport with no ticket pay. He even felt proud of his intelligence.
He also consoles himself because he thinks he is a poor student, and if can be economical yes frugal. However, he did not realize he was making a fatal mistake that would affect his career ...
After 4 years, he graduated from a reputable faculty with a very good number. This makes him full of confidence. He began applying for a job at a prominent company in Paris with great expectations for acceptance. At first, all these companies warmly welcomed him. But how many days later, everything refused him to work.
The repeated failure made him very angry. He began to regard these companies as racist, unwilling to accept foreign nationals. Finally, he forced his way into the labor department to meet with his manager. He wanted to know the reason the company refused to work. Apparently, his explanation is beyond his belief ...
Next is their dialogue ...
Manager: Miss, we are not racist, on the contrary, we are very concerned about you. When you work for the company, we are impressed with your education and achievements. Indeed, by virtue of your abilities, you are actually the worker we are looking for.
Woman: Then why do not companies accept my work?
Manager: Because we checked your history, it turns out you've been sanctioned three times do not pay for tickets while riding public transport.
Woman: I admit it, but this time because of this small thing the company refused to be an adept worker and many times his writings appeared in magazines?
Manager: Small thing? We do not consider this a small matter. We noticed the first time you broke the law occurred in the first week you signed in this country. The officer believes in the explanation that you still do not understand the payment system. Be forgiven, but you get caught 2x more after that.
Woman: Oh because there is no small money at the time.
Manager: No, no. We can not accept your explanation. Do not think we're stupid. We believe you have committed fraud hundreds of times before being caught.
Woman: It's not a deadly fault right? Why should it be so serious? Next time I change it still can.
Manager: I do not think so. Your deed proves three things:
- You are not following the rules
- You are smart to look for weaknesses in the rules and take advantage of yourself
- You can not be trusted
Many jobs in our company depend on trust. If you are given responsibility for sales in a territory, then you will be given a great power. For the cost, we can not afford to use a control system to keep an eye on your work. Our company is similar to the transportation system in the country. Therefore, we can not use you. I dare say, in our country even the whole of Europe, no company will wear you.
At that moment, this woman is like waking from her dream and very sorry. The last manager's words drove his heart to a halt.
The above event message is:
- Moral and ethics can cover the lack of IQ or intelligence
- But IQ or intelligence cannot help any bad ethics...
- Let's fix yourself ... let's be a better self! All of us who clean up will make this nation will be more dignified and dignified.
