Being Role Models for Youth - both Male and Female

Dear friends,

I think it's sad for anyone to base his or her decisions about his or her career on how much money s/he will make. This type of value judgment shows a shallow way of looking at life, to me.

It is no different than a businessperson who is more concerned with making profits than creating customers. In both cases, the dominating factor in decision-making is greed for such people. Greed is always shortsighted, from the cheating spouse to the BP oil spill.

Moreover, while it is important for both young males and females to have male role models, female role models play no less an essential part in how young people relate to others and themselves, male or female.

Cheers!
