BUSINESS AUTO NOT CONSIDERED REGULAR USE
Usually there is a sharp line between personal driving situations and those that qualify as commercial activities. A given vehicle use should be accompanied by the proper type and level of protection. Vehicle accidents are often traumatic, especially if they involve serious injury or, even, death. After an accident occurs, some calm should be introduced along the lines of having confidence in how insurance can assist with handling the financial consequences. Unfortunately, stumbling blocks can appear. In fact, it is often a loss that reveals problems which should never have existed. The ownership, operation and coverage should align so that, when needed, protection applies quickly and fully.
Click here. It takes you to a case where the vehicle’s use created confusion over who and how a serious loss was covered. The court had its say over the insurer’s reasoning for denying protection.
​Control your own mind, and you may never be controlled by the mind of another.
The mind is the most powerful weapon known to man. It simply cannot be controlled or contained by an outside force, however formidable that force may at first appear. Throughout history, tyrants have tried to control those who opposed them, but eventually these rulers discovered the power of the imagination was far greater than the threat of the sword. As Victor Hugo said, “An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.”
​Every time you influence another person to do a better job, you benefit that person and you increase your own value.
Someone once said that no one can really motivate anyone else; all we can do is motivate ourselves and hope it catches on. You will probably never know how much you influence others with your behavior. When you always go the extra mile, you will influence those in your circle of friends and acquaintances, your family, your co-workers, and even your bosses to do more and better than they have done before. Your value to yourself and others is greatly enhanced by your ability to influence others to be happier, more productive people. There are no salary caps or career limits for those who lead others to great heights of success. Such people are simply too valuable.
​Falsehood does evermore have a way of publishing itself.
It is virtually impossible to conceal the truth forever. It is the natural order of things that the truth will eventually come out. This single fact is the foundation of our judicial system and the basis on which all human relationships are formed. A business, professional, or personal relationship built upon a lie cannot long endure, but one that is founded on truth and equality of benefit for the participants is unlimited. Make it a practice to tell the truth in all that you do — even when it doesn’t matter — and you will form a habit of truthfulness. You will know instinctively that it is better to tell the truth and face the consequences than to launch a falsehood that will eventually make itself known to the world.
