Always do right, Twain said

Although I am now in a business management position with our media company, I still consider myself a journalist at heart. It's all I ever wanted to be and I am fortunate that over the past 30 years in media, advertising, public relations, and internet development I have never strayed too far from that passion for the written word, in whatever form it is delivered.

That said, since I was a kid reading Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn and other classics, Mark Twain has been a hero of mine. I share with you today, this quote from the estimable Mr. Clemmens:

"Always do right. This will gratify some people, and astonish the rest."
-- Mark Twain (1835 – 1910)
