Sun was just recognized as one of the "World's Most Ethical Companies" by Ethisphere Magazine. That's pretty cool. You don't often get recognized for doing the right thing. You can get recognized for being first, being best, looking good, (dahrling you look marvelous!) but just leading a good life and doing the right thing rarely brings accolades. I think that is as it should be. We don't (or shouldn't) do the right thing simply because someone is watching. We should do the right things because it is the right thing.

 My wife and I were talking about this the other day. Being a geography geek, she likes map and cartography analogies. She made the observation that ethical behavior is a bit like following a true north map line. We all have a compass that orients us toward magnetic north. Most people had generally north, but the declination may be slightly off from true north. I thought it was a good analogy.
