that you already have but then
I wonder, I ask myself if I’m
giving my clients the best that
I can. Which is supposed to be
at the heart of my agreement
with him, whatever it is we are
doing, you know. It forces me
to actually dig in deeper and in
a lot of times, I find myself going to God, looking for inspiration and it does make a difference. Sometimes I surprise
even myself with the things I’ve
come up with just because I’ve
refused to do things the same
old way and I’ve chosen to dig
a little deeper to come up with
something truly original as I
am supposed to do. Also, my
faith has stopped me from,
pursuing certain jobs, certain,
projects in the past. I believe in
the power of conscience very
much. I believe that your conscience, in the moment your
conscience is your guide. It
could be wrong sometimes but
then, not to digress, the point
is, I’ve had the opportunity to
be part of certain projects in
the past, for one or two reasons I was not very comfortable with things I saw. And I
will pull out whether it’s some
unethical, some questionable
practice or something dubious like to scam a clients, you
know, those kind of things.
Unfortunately in our country
today, our mindsets have been
so corrupted that we found
a way to convince ourselves
that it is okay, corruption has
permeated almost every facet
of our lives. And we find ourselves dealing more and more
with people who feel like it is
okay to try and pull a fast one
on people they are working
with. And in those kind of situations, my faith does not allow
me proceed. I just bow out. I
just withdraw. Sometimes, immediately afterwards, it leaves
you with mixed feelings, you
know, you’re wondering if,

you’re tempted to just go with
the flow, if you can’t beat them
join them, that sort of thing,
but in the end I do feel satisfied
and I have the conviction that
I’ve done the right thing. So in
that regard it plays a very big
big huge role in the way I do

MeMag: Finally Sir, Please
indulge us a little more by telling us, in your honest opinion,
What Christians do in Business
do that should be applauded
and what they do that should
be criticized?
say "NO" when No should be
said and they say "YES" when
YES should be said. Unfortunately, I think people like that,
I think Christians like that are
the overwhelming minority in
the society in which we live in
but I think that is what needs to
be applauded. It is that this belief has so permeated their lives
that even in the way they do
business. It affects their dealing and the things that they say
and do and they are so totally
committed to being Christian
in the way that they have come
to understand it.
Tony Edache: I think one
of the things Christians do in
business that should be applauded is something that is
overrated and overlook now
about is simply that they stand
up for what is right, you know,
that they are guided by their
conscience by the moral law,
by scripture and they simply
On the other hand I think what
Christians do not do enough,
and they should be criticized
for, is that they do not love
enough. We tend to find reasons to stop being our best at
a certain point. We call it our
“limits” or that point where we
say “enough is enough” and
