Obligation to give back
In winners never cheat chapter ten talks about giving back, I feel that personally i can do a better job of this, I passed a sign in the TSC that stated of you want good Karma give back, It made me think of this chapter, there are not very many people that are as rich and succesful as Jon Huntsman, that there favorite topic is giving, There are alot of celiberties that give but i doubt highly they do it out of sheer joy, Giving a skill that takes true humility and kindness things which you must be able to obtian to become your very best, these atributes help build your charecter to the best that you can be, not to mention a little bit of Karma doesnt hurt, but being happy from giving as dicribed by Huntsman, gives him goose bumps, I am not even close to that but striving to get there.
Winners Never Cheat
I just finished reading the book winners never cheat, I thought there were some very usefull things inside the book that we all can use in our lives to become the best that we can be. In chapter 4 it talks about setting an example, You are alwasy taught to be the strong one to stand up and say no when things are wrong, I really liked the expamle used when he talked about giving the wrong order over the ships, even though it wasnt the captain fault for the wrong words said to the other ships, he still stepped up and took the blame for the wrong because he was the Leader, how many times in our lives is it just easier to not take the blame for faluts of our own? Even though it might not be directley our fault but being a good leader and overseeing your team, taking responsibilty in good but more important bad is what I found to be insightful.

Law of the Harvest
There are many cases that come to mind of examples of people that want the entire goose that is giving the golden eggs instead of being patient and just being greatful for what is at hand. One instance that comes to my mind is how young adults are extremely inpatient. They see life long investments such as cars and homes that there parents have spent a lifetime saving for, and want them instantaley with out the work ethic. I have many friends that have made very poor decisions on money, seeing a new truck for instance and thinking " all the chicks will dig it!" even though they dont have the financial stability to make a purchase like that. We need to really think about our investments and how we can better spend our money and not get greedy. Taking the egg one day at a time and not whole goose.
