Integrity

Pheeeww....
On one side, I like being a consultant like this. Very challenging and interesting. Gain more knowledge and broaden my experience in many things, many industries, and of course network. But on the other hand, the process in understanding the issue and gathering the information are very tough, especially if you have to get "sensitive" data from a company.

Yesterday, I was asking such information to my friend. He was my college-mate. He is the key-source to the data. He has privilege on the data. So, there was about 15 mins chatting, explaining the situation, negotiating.... and the result is NO. Well... he was very tough. I was trying to convince that this won't endanger him. I'll shut my mouth and pretend there was nothing happen.

Nevertheless, I'm very happy to know that almost all my friends still keep their integrity.
