Defiance!

"Defiance refers to the act of openly resisting or challenging authority, rules, or expectations. It often embodies a sense of boldness and courage in standing against opposition or control." AI

I highlighted the word courage above because courage often denotes nobility where as I more often see defiance as an act of stupidity.

Most of us laughed at The Three Stooges as their crazy schemes were bold and defiant... and stupid.

Sorry to say, there is plenty of stupid in Real Estate to. What is NOT stupid is the morals and rules of Real Estate we learn during State mandated licensing exams and continuing education.

It's funny how some new agents test these morals, obligations, and rules right out of the gate when they get their licenses. My advice to new agents is if an idea challenges any known morals then run it by your Broker before displaying your ignorance to the world.

Do you enjoy the cartoons written by my son (Timmothy N. Timm) which I use as a springboard to write my daily posts? His strip, Titus & Philemon, has run in two newspapers for years as well as being printed in my blog every day. Titus & Philemon (pronounced Phi - Lee -Man) are guinea pigs. Their owner is Joe. Timmothy has never repeated a joke/comic strip in the 12 years he has been writing it. He has never copied another strip, such as Peanuts or Garfield. You can follow Timmothy on FB as Titus & Philemon and you can also check him out on Instagram as Instagram.com/titus and philemon/ .For Timmothy's website type timmtimmothy.com into your browser. I tried to put it in a link here but it refuses to work. Do NOT put anything in front of timmtimmothy.com or it will not work.

Good morning Bob. "Defiance" can have a positive benefit but very seldom. Man must choose wisely but most often does not. Enjoy your day.

Good morning, Bob... if only they would. Too many are too stupid to figure out they can get advice.

The lose of a moral compass is getting all to common these days Nina Hollander, Broker . No morals leads to some very bad and stupid actions.
