A simple rule
autor: Michał Gramacki

There are thousands of people who reached the fame and wealth usually through their hard work and sometimes by coincidence. We see all those famous and glorious celebrities on TV, in gossip magazines and internet. And there is nothing wrong in that - they just live in a different world with a higher standard and greater opportunities than others. Congratulations. But the point is - do they see normal people and their needs, do they acknowledge normal rules? Rule No. 1 says: the more you have, the more you should give back and be more conscious, be open-eyed. It seems that sometimes they are aware of that world, which is not shown on TV beside them. But sometimes it seems that they rule their own world, in which everything or almost everything is possible. Let’s take Tiger Woods - the best golf player until 2009. It's been a year after his tragic car accident, which was the beginning of a released story of the "second life" scandal.  Betrayal of his wife cost almost everything - his career - most of his sponsors withdrew money, he had to take a break from golf, he lost respect in sport's world and in the society; in private life he lost so many friends and people who trusted him. Tiger Woods just simply deceived himself because he was aspiring for quick happiness and pleasure outside his family and wife. That led him to loosing his way to normal life. He became the prisoner of his own uncontrolled addiction. Hopefully he will stand up on his legs and learn what is important and profitable in life.
