integrity:
Integrity is standing by your word. Not backing out of commitment. Integrity is when you say something or promise something you keep your word. Not saying something to schmooze another person or to make yourself look good in another person's eyes. Integrity is honesty and follow through.integrity is about doing something good even though nobody is watching, it means honesty to others and yourself in.integrity resides in the ability to constitute yourself as your word, to be true to your principles, and ultimately, be true to yourself. You'll learn that integrity is not constrained by, nor does it reside in, rules, prescriptions, or imposed demands. Integrity creates an environment of freedom, power, and joy

A short story on integrity written by: "Julia Newell Iverson"


Integrity Through Trust and Caring When I was a freshman at College, I needed to send my oboe through the mail to have some repair work done. I was really worried about mailing it; my first oboe teacher had sold the instrument to me, and I didn’t want it to be damaged. A friend told me that I could insure it through UPS, and directed me to a small neighborhood business called “Touchette” that did UPS insurance. I took the bus downtown, oboe in my lap, and when I arrived at the store the proprietor was very kind and reassuring. He helped me package the oboe as well as possible, and was able to insure it. However, the total cost was $30, and I had only brought $20 with me. My heart sank at the thought of squeezing another bus ride into my hectic schedule when he said. “That’s OK, I trust you. Just give me your name and number, and pay me the rest when you get the chance.” I was astounded. Who had heard of a business owner just volunteering to trust someone like that? That act of kindness stuck in my memory and still reminds me that integrity is built through trust and caring for one another’s needs. .......
OUR OPINIONS:
Integrity is Quality characterized by honesty, reliability, and fairness, developed in a relationship over time. Customers and clients have much more confidence when dealing with a business when they can rely on the representations made. =D Integrity is very important, be honest at all times.



love:
God is watching us in everything we say and do. He is here for us no matter what we may venture unto. He loves us, and wants us to know we are his children. So before we do the wrong things, to rob, steal, and kill, Remember God is watching us so stop and be still. Life may bring its sorrows and it is difficult for us to see, That God knows what is best, So let him do the rest. He laid down his life for us so that we may live. Let's trust in God and he will give. God's way is peace, love and honesty. Let's give this to our neighbors open heartedly. He wants nothing more than our love to honor him And obey. Open your hearts and love God today. May you open your hearts and love God today.


A poem on love:


Love adorns itself; it seeks to prove inward joy by outward beauty.
-
Love does not claim possession, but gives freedom.
-
Love is an endless mystery, for it has nothing else to explain it.
-
Love’s gift cannot be given, it waits to be accepted.

(love's gift cannot be given, it waits to be accepted)
our opinions:
love is caring for someone,not being jealous, and being considerate. Love is noble, like our mother who take cares of us.she cares for you the moment you are born, and thinks for you every moment of the day.she sacrifices her time just for you.so be like your mother, and be a loving person to others.

truth:
(honesty)


being honest means:

  • to tell the truth


  • to encourage others to tell the truth


  • to admit it when wrong

  • to not exaggerate


  • being true

A person who is considered honest is one who displays integrity, is genuine and not deceptive or fraudulent. Honesty is characterized by truth and sincerity. Honesty denotes the quality of being upright in principle and action. Honesty implies truthfulness, fairness in dealing with others, and refusal to engage in fraud, deceit, or dissembling.






Benefits of being honest, to be true:






the person who is honest feels good about himself or herself, and knows that they have done the right thing. A thief may not have a conscious about stealing, but that person has no character. He knows in his heart that he is not good. Even though there isn't a reward for being honest,(i'm not saying that there are none),but you can still hold your head up high and you know you've done the right thing.The benefits you get from being honest are that sometimes you get recognition and thanks for an honest deed. But in general, honesty is not something that is directly rewarded. It is a feeling you have about yourself. It is a feeling of pride and self-worth and character. I feel I am a stronger and better person because of being honest.







(hold your head up high and you know you've done the right thing. feel like a strong and good person because you've done the right thing.)






"True” sometimes carries the meaning of loyal. A true friend, a true patriot, etc., is one who is faithful to a commitment.





poem:
I seek the truth in you


The weak lie is not you


So speak up, yes you


The truth hurts but it works


The truth simplifies and dignifies


The truth sooths preserving your youth


I ask the truth of you


Cry now, take a tissue


So speak up, yes you


The truth signifies and modifies


The truth is within and the best way to begin


The truth is a good start especially for sweethearts


I need the truth of you


Simply choose your venue


So speak up, yes you


The truth to any degree


Is a starting point to be free


Just like one and two make three


So speak up, yes you


If you agree


(the truth hurts but it works)




our opinions:
to me, truth means that not telling lies to others, no matter they hurt or not, because the truth is going to hurt even more if the person you lied to found the hard truth by himself or herself. so don't lie in the first place, no matter how pain the truth can hurt. Be honest and tell the truth no matter what happens.
