Mahatma Gandhi whom we regarded as father of nation, his life stories were one of the greatest examples of integrity we have seen in modern times. His one of the Best Quote is “You must be the change you wish to see in the World”. The Following stories from his Autobiography – “The Story of my Experiment with Truth” shows us the true example of Integrity: “There is an incident which occurred at the examination during my first year at the high school and which is worth recording. Mr. Giles, the educational Inspector, had come on a visit of inspection. He had set us five words to write as a spelling exercise. One of the words was 'Kettle'. I had misspelt it. The teacher tried to prompt me with the point of his boot, but I would not be prompted. It was beyond me to see that he wanted me to copy the spelling from my neighbour's slate, for I had thought that the teacher was there to supervise us against copying. The result was that all the boys, except myself, were found to have spelt every word correctly. Only I had been stupid. The teacher tried later to bring this stupidity home to me. but without effect. I never could learn the art of 'copying'. “
Billionaire Warren Buffett, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway said
“We look for three things when we hire people. We look for intelligence, we
look for initiative or energy, and we look for integrity. And if they don't
have the latter, the first two will kill you, because if you're going to get
someone without integrity, you want them lazy and dumb”. So, you can say even in
this modern corporate world honesty is still counting as one of best asset you
have.
To win trust of people takes so many years, however it takes just one moment to lose, so never permit yourself to ever do whatever would harm your respectability.
