I guess you could have held your tongue and spoken to him later. But I did something similar when I was young and it cost me a job. I don’t regret it. It taught me that you don’t get to hold your principles for free. It costs.

Almost 30 years later, I was offered a job with Jane’s Defense Weekly. The money was astronomical, but I turned it down. It was easy to walk away – I knew it would cost me, but I had learned that this was the way of the world.

Many people expect that it will be easy and comfortable to hold on to their principles. When it turns out to be painful, they’re shocked. I appreciate the opportunity I had to learn that early.
