No Organization was ever built without principles and values, no country ever survived with devious methods. Short-term successes don't guarantee long-term survival. Only companies which have values and principles are those termed as being straight; the others would be bending the rules, laws, systems and resort to methods which are seldom straight.
The shortest distance between setting a goal and achieving it is a straight line, i.e., being straight. The hard working student, a dedicated executive, a good governance, a fair business practice, ethics in advertisements, would entail the objective to be met much easier, faster and better. We all have multi-dimensional roles to play. The goal for every role is to feel happy and peaceful at the end of the day. From the point of the role to the point of the goal, the shortest distance is a straight line.
Only individuals with growth backed by good principles of geometry would reach the pinnacle, because these individuals know the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.
