Lessons Learned:
This week in my Business 110 class we read and listened to several speakers. The topic that was being addressed was honesty in business. I particularly liked the address by Sister Sheri Dew: True Blue: Through and Through. Sister Dew defined integrity as simply being true. Being true and honest is another way of expressing the virtue of integrity. Dew imparted a 7-step plan that guides your actions to keep you within the ethical guiderails of integrity it is:
1. Decide today, once and for all, that you will be worthy of trust.
2. Have faith the Lord can and will will help you, and then diligently seek His help.
3. Make covenants and keep them.
4. Stand up for what you believe.
5. Expect your integrity to be challenged
6. Don't give up.
7. Covenant-or perhaps I should say, renew your covenant- with our Father and His Son to do what you came here to do. For doing what we agreed to do pre-mortally is the ultimate expression of our integrity.
Sister Dew invited each of us to enroll in Integrity 101. This would be a way to inventory how we are doing in regards to having and maintaining our personal integrity. These are the steps to enroll in this personal integrity course:
1. Take inventory of your integrity. Do you have cracks? Be honest with yourself.
2. For the next 30 days take time every night to assess how you did that day.
3. As you become more aware of your strengths and weaknesses, turn to the Savior more frequently and with increasing fervor.
To be a better society we have to first look within. I think that this talk helps me to look within and choose to have more integrity in my life. I want to be surrounded by people in my personal and professional life that prize the virtue of integrity.
