Integrity

"These are the 3 magic keys to living with integrity." 

1. Have the courage to say no
2. Have the courage to face the truth
3. Do the right thing because it  is right 

By: W. Clement Stone 

   Having the courage to say no is very important because it can keep you out of a lot of trouble. For instance if you are a good that comes to school everyday and one day your friends decide to ditch and ask you if you want to come you may say no but then peer pressure will come in. That is where you have to keep your ground and not let people change your mind on what you know is right. The people that ask you to the wrong thing those are not your friends and you should try to stay as far away as you can from those people. You should keep your integrity and not let others make you look bad. Just like having the courage to say no you must also have the courage to face the truth. If you do something that you know you did wrong on and someone confronts you for it you should have the courage to stand up for your actions. If you are caught doing wrong do not be afraid to say the truth. For example f you are caught chewing gum during class and your teacher asks you to spit it out just do it. Do not it there and try to lie to the teacher and tell them you are chewing gum, they already saw you. Sometimes when people are caught doing the wrong thing they get really defensive but they really should not. Lastly do the right thing because it is right. Do not expect to be rewarded every time you do the right thing. At the end of the day what you are doing it is only going to affect you whether you are doing the right thing or you are doing the wrong thing it is only affecting you. Do the right thing because it is right not because someone tells you to do it or because yo want to be rewarded.
