44 / 365 Check Your Personal Integrity Account
Rather fall with honor than succeed by
fraud.
Sophocles
A person’s financial
creditworthiness is evaluated by analysing his bank account. The more you
credit and the less you debit your account, the more will be your
creditworthiness. If you are creditworthy, people will respect you.
Similarly, you are
also building up your ‘personal integrity account’. Every time you promise
something and keep up your promise, your personal integrity account is
credited; every time you promise something and you don’t keep up your promise,
your personal integrity account is debited. Finally, your credit and debit will
be balanced to evaluate your creditworthiness as a person, in terms of
integrity.
People evaluate you
by what you say and what you do. Check for these following traits in you:
·
Do you over-promise and under deliver?
·
Are you late to appointments?
·
Do you tell lies?
·
Do you fail in your commitments?
The list is only
illustrative and not exhaustive. If the answer to such questions is ‘yes’, you
run the risk of damaging your personal integrity account and image!
Audit your personal
integrity account periodically and take remedial action before it is too late!
