TIME AND TIME AGAIN.................if you are going to stray (cheat) learn how to conceal your tracks. Like most things in life, theres a skill set, failure to adopt th skills almost ALWAYS BLOWS UP and BITES YOU IN THE REAR END down the road. Now I am not advocating cheating or deception (cause I already wrote a few articles on CHEATING 101). So lets talk about KEEPING IT REAL TODAY................
Any time you are in the public eye, everything you say or do is subject to interpretation by the public. It’s the price you pay for fame. Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was forced to resign in September 2008 and it all began with some controversial text messages. The messages exposed he was cheating on his wife, then a domino effect initiated as he desperately tried to back peddle his way out. The deeper the media searched the more scandal they uncovered. He went to jail , a million dollar fine, reputation destroyed, disrespect from peers, trust issues with wife and kids, the other woman’s future career is tainted. Flashback to former President Bill Clinton or Tiger Woods in December 2009 and we see some similarities.
So what is to be learned from all this. If you ever are fortunate enough to reach star status, successful in the public service or date someone who is, be aware that the media is always present. If they look deep enough they will find some dirt on you. The media adores it when someone rich, famous or successful falters. On a more personal note, if you openly do something on the down low, friends and peers will begin to speculate based upon conjecture and formulate an opinion. Keeping it real and being genuine is much more appealing then misrepresenting yourself. Avoid stress and drama by being responsible…….sure it’s not as fun but in the end you have your dignity and respect. Failure to do so and you may be held accountable or worse face the repercussions for your actions.
I am quite sure the media will uncover more Tiger Trash very soon...........he was not the first and certainly won`t be the last celebrity who fumbled.
STICKY POINT-Avoid using any form of traceable media or just keep it real. Its so much easier when you are keeping it real.
Oh look for Related Tiger jokes to soon follow.............something along the lines of `hole in one, ball washer, shave a few more strokes off his game, etc.
