Defining integrity

“Integrity is always doing the right thing, even if nobody is watching.”

“Integrity is telling myself the truth. And honesty is telling the truth to other people.”

-Spencer Johnson “If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything.“

- Mark Twain"Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the

rest.“- Mark Twain

"I am different from [George] Washington; I have a higher, granderstandard of principle. Washington could not lie. I can lie, but Iwon't.“

- Mark Twain


KEEPING COMMITMENTS

Make agreements consciously: I’m going to acceptEric’s invitation to join his study group because it will helpme get better grades.

Use Creator language: I will attend all study groupmeetings and come prepared.

Make agreements important: I’ll send an email to each study group member with my commitment.

Create a plan; carry it out: I’ll put each meeting on my calendar.

Renegotiate: If I'm unable to attend a meeting, I’ll ask ifothers are willing to change the date.
