Greetings to my esteemed friends on the Cent platform and the entire Hive blockchain. It's another day and time to share with you the benefits of being a person of integrity. It's your friend @faquan saying hello from this part of the world.
One of the virtue and value many people are losing today is being a person of integrity. It's very obvious that even thieves (corrupt businessmen and politicians)wants people of integrity to mann their businesses as managers.
What is Integrity?
Integrity can be defined as aligning your conduct with what you know to be excellent. A person of integrity displays a principled dedication to values and beliefs. They always seek to reflect ethical standards and do the right thing regardless of the circumstances.
Attributes of Integrity
The convictions of a person of integrity determine what they will say and do at any given time. They intentionally direct their conduct according to their understanding of what is right and wrong. Authenticity marks the heart of integrity. Their internal character remains consistent regardless of external conditions.
Nowadays, people tend to give different explanations of their actions even when they're wrong and still claim to be people of integrity. Integrity isn't just being morally responsible but it goes beyond morality to doing the right thing at all times.
So many people have principles they don't keep at all times. They make the rules and break the same rules due to certain reasons. A person that's Rock-solid in integrity doesn't shift grounds even when it doesn't favour him or her.
Mind you, being a person of integrity can make you lose your promotions and sometimes family and friends. People will see you as a fool who saw opportunities to cut corner in order to become rich and comfortable but refused it because they're wrong.
A person of integrity does not claim to be perfect. Instead, they are quick to acknowledge their own mistakes and faults. Their sincerity comes from a pure motivation to do what is right even when it might be inconvenient. Times of crisis particularly test a person’s integrity. What would it take for you to compromise your resolve to do what you believe is right?
It takes only you to destroy what you have created and kept for all these years.
