CELEBRITY APPRENTICE – THE AFTERMATH
Our country is in turmoil politically and economically.
The "win by any means necessary" mentality has hurt us. In the past, it has brought us the likes of Enron, and today the current mortgage crisis rages on with no end in sight. We are reaping what we have sown.
I think we are all tired of seeing bad behavior rewarded every day. While I have the utmost respect for Piers Morgan's intellect and consider him a friend, I feel it is my duty to get up every morning and teach my 8-year-old-son Lukas to do the right thing, even though it may not always be rewarded.
The high profile of “Celebrity Apprentice” placed us all in a position to be role models, and the role model that I most respected (and whom I thought best represented how things should be in business, and in life) was Trace Adkins.
What’s so appealing and admirable about Trace is that he has a wonderful quiet confidence about him. He’s successful, compassionate, straight forward, but most importantly - self aware. He understands the importance of being a great husband, a great father, and a great human being. His life has been difficult, and goodness knows that he has had to work hard on himself, but through it all he has managed to keep his integrity intact.
I long for integrity, honesty, and ethical behavior to be the true measure of success - something to be valued again in this country, even if means sometimes taking the longer, harder road.

I just want to thank everyone for all their input and support!!
It's a really complicated issue, isn't it. Unethical business tactics are the result of either sink-or-swim survival or simple primitive greed. It comes down to teaching our children how to defend against those kinds of tactics, yet to never employ them unless necessary for survival.
Trace Adkins may be the "speaks softly and carries a big stick" type of man. His tact and demeanor are exemplary, yet he has proven to be a very strong adversary.
In an ideal world, this is how all businesses would behave, and we would grow together as an entire species. Realistically, we have to take one step at a time with strong beliefs, dedication and perseverance.
Rewards can come in material or moral forms, and neither is less important. The world of business is only as vicious as its participants, which also means that it can always change.
I wish that more people thought like you do, Nely. Please do your best, and thank you for sharing your thoughts!
