[Book] Winners Never Cheat

Something happen this week that makes me think about something; have you ever hear the term “white lies”? it’s mortal’s way of making lying more palatable for our moral-centric society. It’s a matter of how much are you willing to sacrifice your integrity to achieve something; at the end a lie is a lie. Telling a lie is addictive, you start with “small” lies then go up through a more sophisticated and elaborate lies.

I read a book once on this subject, and it’s an interesting book that I would recommend; I also found the summary of the book, for those who would like to know a little bit more about it before reaching down your pocket.

Software vendors are notoriously known to struggle with the issue of cheating. Recently I learnt that Microsoft Australia launches an “It’s Not Cheating” Program (www.itsnotcheating.com.au) together with Contiki (www.contiki.com.au) and Canvas Card (www.mycanvascard.com.au) to provide cheap Office suit for students at an extremely low price.

Don’t you wish all solution to cheating can be that cheap? Rather than finding out the hard way that, cheating doesn’t pay.
