I M turning down the seat that would have cost me my spine to sit in.

Wisdom

Some invitations are traps with your name engraved on them. The table looks like an honor until you notice the price of admission is your integrity, your voice, or your bent back. Not every open door is meant for you to walk through.

Carry It

Decline one opportunity today whose real cost would be a piece of your backbone, no matter how flattering it looks.

Ask Yourself

What seat are you tempted to take that would require you to stop standing up straight?
