In 2011 a guy I was doing some work for got stiffed by a customer, sued by a supplier for payment and ended up in bankruptcy court. He owed me for 6 months of work and things were tight. He offered to me, that as he could not pay what he owed me, I could choose to file a claim as part of the bankruptcy and settle for whatever the court decided, or I could step aside and he would pay me the full amount when he was able. I asked what he would prefer, and he said he wanted to pay me later. So that is what I chose, and a couple of years later he had paid me in full. The world would be a better place if more people were willing to stand by their word.
That's a great life lesson. Nothing is more important than having people you can rely on, and who can rely on you. Particularly for all of us who are older... stuff happens over the years. Disasters are not something one can avoid over a long life.
One word, that means more and more to me the older I get - and that I see in you: Integrity ! (Not much else matters in a person really, as far as I am concerned)
Yes, it is. I've always paid up in full and expect the same in return
Thats the way! Aloha!🤙
