I heard a talk today that reminded me of the need for integrity in individuals. The speaker talked about a friend of his who didn’t think much of putting $.25 into a newspaper vending machine and then taking as many papers as he felt. The interesting comment was when the speaker said that he didn’t feel his integrity was worth a mere $.25, and isn’t that true?

Honestly, no one’s integrity is worth $.25, or even $1MM; unfortunately, too many don’t see the big picture, we get lost in the here and now rather than the future. Personally, I would rather be a friend to and do business with someone who regards integrity as a priceless trait and lives his or her life that way.

My Two Cents: Integrity needs to be brought back into our society, and it needs to start in the family and be practiced and reinforced in the highest circles of society.

Read David B. Haight’s talk on Honesty and Ethics here–it’s another classic talk on ethics in society; I’ll post the talk I heard today when it becomes available later this week.
