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!
