I got to the cinema late to watch a
movie, I met the movie half way, I was really disappointed at the end, so I decided
that I can’t pay to watch a movie “half-way”, so I went to the gents and took “a
very long time” in there, because people that come out from there are not
questioned by security.
I waited for “a very long” couple
of minutes before I went back to watch the movie from the beginning ………….
It was way wrong, because I did not
pay for the movie for the second time, but it felt right, I paid full price for
the movie the first time and I only got half of what I paid for! And the lady
on the counter told me “the movie just started”……..
Part of me wanted to leave, another
part wanted to stay, I only watched up to the part where I met the movie and I
left, I felt justified…..
What if I was harassed by the
guards, and questioned?!! Dealt with in such a way I would look like some
criminal!!!
What if I got myself in a position
I had to call my parents to get me out?!!!
What if the guards started a scene
and I also reacted aggressively and someone just had to be there with a camera
and I end up on youtube with a million views!
It would have been embarrassing!
Disgraceful and humiliating!
A guy with so much credibility
threw out his integrity to be trampled!
From then on I promised myself
never again to watch a movie in the cinema without paying for it!!
It was up to me to do what I had
with my integrity. But what happens if one is forced to throw the rules in
thrash, bend or break the law and do away with every moral value just to make
it in life.
Situations will show up that will
demand your integrity, and will want you to put your standards aside and roll
in the dirt, it’s up you and how far have you made up your mind to live and be
right?
The integrity of the upright guides them,
but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity…PRO 11:3
but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity…PRO 11:3
Its simple your
precepts, values, virtues and principles will guide you, lead you and at the
end of the day establish you.
A righteous
man who walks in his integrity—
How blessed
are his sons after him. PRO. 20:7
I like the look on people’s face when I mention my dad’s name………
To his friends, they say
he’s good man, they ask about him and how is doing…..
To his Co-workers one man insisted that your father doesn’t do
anything that’s wrong, he’s a just man…
To the junior staffs “he’s a great boss”…..
And the remarks are impeccable and I’m happy, he saved a lot of
integrity and he’s able to spend it and he’s getting great results
A while ago, I told one
of my friend’s Yemisi, I don’t have any cash on me, but I can still have lunch
in the cafeteria now! How? I would be spending my integrity.
So how much is the worth of your integrity? How many people can
vouch for you? How far can your integrity go?
Imagine you own a company and someone wants to apply as a marketer
and he says I’m Hitler’s Grandson!!! What would you do?
“Your bank
account can leave you in the dark but your integrity can light a path”
“Financial status
can take you far, but integrity takes you farther”
