As tough as it sometimes looks on the front end, it's easier to do right than undo wrong.

Trust is the glue that holds relationships together.

Live according to the ethics of excellence, and you can always stand proud. Pride - not vanity, but dignity and self-respect - should carry a lot of weight in helping you make decisions. Let pride help you decide.

Your doubts are not the product of accurate thinking, but habitual thinking. Years ago you excepted flawed conclusions as correct, begin to live your life as if those warped ideas about your potential were true, and ceased the bold experiment in living that brought you many breakthrough behaviors as a child.

If you're unwilling to defer pleasure or endure some "pain" for now, are you likely to end up later deep in the hole?

Your ethical muscle grows stronger every time you choose right over wrong.

How can we be trusted with big things if we're not trustworthy with things that are small? Don't allow your finer instincts to become a casualty of the little everyday crimes of ethical compromise.
