Churchill wouldn't get employment because he was bad with his personal finances. Hemmingway couldn't work for a publisher because he was an alchoholic and suffered from bipolar episodes, not to mention being opinionated. Teddy Roosevelt (enough said)!.

People who are bold and courageous enough to do big things with big opinions, and fail, should not be excluded from the game. When you do that the game becomes listless in a dead sea.

Those who are "in charge" like mediocrity and the status quo since doing something out of the ordinary, sometimes outlandish is considered a threat to their authority.

Since I use to work DoD, I got called in for two different speeding tickets I got while on vacation since management likes to keep a close eye on you. Funny thing, I never drove company vehicles or rental cars since I never did business trips. However, they were used against me on decisions that affected my career !
