Accepting the money?

Yeah!Another closer to my exams...which means another closer to my holidays and end of school life. Can't wait to faster end studying. Hate it so much.Haha!

Anyway, Today went church and learnt about trustworthiness and being influential in your work place. So this is what I learnt....

Trustworthy: Honest, reliable, fair, putting God in the first place

There was this illustration that He Xin gave:
There was thisChristian female manager who helped her company to reduce the losses which involves great sum of money. Hence, the big boss gave her a bonus of US4million dollars as a reward.
At the same time, the company was cutting costs on the salary of the staff and having retrenchment. Hence, the female boss rejected the bonus to show a good testimony for Christ.
So if it were you, do you think you will take the money?

During the discussions, these points were raised.
Why accept the money:
1) Can take the money and distribute them to the staff under her as she believed that the work she had done was everyone's effort
2) This is what she deserved
3) By accepting the money, she can show her staff that hard work pays off, so can encourage her staff to work harder to earn bonus too.

Why reject the money:
1) Since the company was still losing money, by rejecting the money, the company could use it to cover the losses and may even reduce the retrenchment and the pay reduction of the staff too.
2) Her staffs were getting retrenched and she still get so much money for a bonus?sure kana scolded and backstab updown left right!
3) Will show the boss that she cared about the welfare of the company and the staff than her only benefits--> gain more trust from her boss
4) Lose repect to the staff
5) want to draw closer to the boss and the staff and maintain a good working relationship in the company and be a good testimony for Christ.
6)Not fair as her staff worked alongside with her too and they did not get the bonus.

Well...although there are much debates about it, and the points seemed to incline towards not accepting the money, I WILL STILL ACCEPT THE MONEY!!!!!WHAHAHAAA!
My gdness la! US 4 million dollars leh!Somemore if the staff really need help, this sum of money can help them too. I don't believe all 3000 of them will have problem and need help at the same time lor!So since only a few might need help, of cos get the money and help them la!Hee..

So if it's you, what's your stand?

Cheers

Taste of Honey:
This is also by my brother whom his fren discussed who hard it is to be a Christian going into a dark dark world like the army.....and here is what he said
"It's not how dark you go, it's how Bright you shine."
"The darker the night, the brighter is the light."

So let's shine for the Lord!Amen!
