It reminded me of something my dad told me as we were driving into our driveway a long time ago. He said he was worried about me being such a smartass. He himself had been a smartass his whole life and he thought he probably would have gone farther in life and been more successful if he held his tongue more in business and around town As I was a teenager I remember trying to ignore him and as I looked out the window of the new Lexus we were driving in and the large house in Hillsborough, California we lived in I wondered. "is he being a smartass now? he did pretty good for himself." Someone is always watching, be yourself and if you do something illegal or immoral then people should know you are an ass. Google just helps that along these days. Thanks again for the great blog. This is a great post Chris.
