Honesty is not just the best policy but the key to thousands of dollars!

You lie. You get dumped.

You tell the truth and you go home with 50,000 dollars!

This is the idea behind the show NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH which is currently popular in Colombia.

As mentioned in this website:

The format of "Nothing But the Truth" is as simple as it is cruel: If the participants truthfully answer 21 increasingly invasive questions, they walk away with $50,000.

I don't think a machine -- polygraph--could tell who needs luck, or money-- the most. What else could the contestants want from the show but the pot money? Imagine, they'd go for money instead of for their own dignity.

However, this show might prove that, after all, "honesty is still the best policy -- and the road to thousands of dollars!" Sitting in a chair with machine is still much more comfortable than jumping and doing stunts in FEAR FACTOR, which also gives away money as reward.

By the way, I think the best contestants for such kind of show are the government officials. The Filipino work force needs to trace where the taxes go -- the polygraph might help...

Management Lessons from GUNG HO

'I must recognize that man achieves the highest degree of efficiency when he plays. If someone says he works out of loyalty to the company, he is a damned liar.' ----Soichiro Honda Founder-millionaire Honda Motor Co., Ltd. When a company fails, who should take the blame? When the workers complain, who should do some reflections, the management or the workers themselves? Hunt Stevenson, in the movie GUNG HO (means to WORK TOGETHER) , needed to do some reflections before it was too late. His failure to do some actions would result in closure of Assan Motors, thereby leaving hundreds of American laborers unemployed. According to Robert Heller, the author of the article EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT: TAKING RESPONSIBILITY, "How the boss behaves has a profound effect on how other managers perform - and thus on the performance of the entire outfit. That's a self-evident truth, acknowledged by most people. But few bosses acknowledge the corollary: that inferior performance is partl...

Levels Earned, Lessons Learned in SHAIYA

The holy week was not really holy for me. This was time of the year when I played hard. Really played hard, as in trying to make the toon level every time I logged in . And to help my toon level up, even my husband and my daughter would play with her. This year, my toon is DanieGanda. Danie, for the record, is my daughter's nick name. But I thought of adding the word "Ganda," which is a tagalog term for Beauty. DanieGanda is a human priest in the normal mode. As the rule in Shaiya, a player won't be able to create a character in the hard mode [here, toons are stronger] without first reaching level 40 in the normal mode, which is a level lower than HM. When DanieGanda started, she was power leveled by king-kruller, whom DanieGanda met while my daughter was playing the toon. King_kruller was als o Danie's first friend in Shaiya. At the moment, he's already level 58, UM. The experience was good for Danie was able to meet players from different walks o...
