Good post, Norma. Penny in NC The Farm Dog Forever -----Original Message----- From: nhansburgh@xxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, January 26, 2013 2:39 PM To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] ego? you know i can not agree with you. showing dogs is not all ego. for me its a sport and i am very competitive and i like to have fun at what i do. i do not give a damn about high score or anything like that. i never cheat never did not on tests not in dogs.never needed to never cared to. never felt it meant much when you cheat. i think its a matter of conscience. this is a word i never hear much about but always meant a lot to me. i think the most important thing in dealing with people is being able to trust them. if you can not trust them do not deal with them.how some people can live with themselves when they cheat i will never understand.i am not naiive i see what goes on but i am a grown up not an adolescent and i do not need to admire people who cheat in order to belong to a clique or a gang. there are lots of us grown ups around you would be surprised how many and we are not holier then thou, we just are guided by conscience. -- norma hansburg www.normahansburg.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2012.
