Integrity

          In this world, we citizens are surrounded and guided by rules every day. Starting from the day we were born, as we continuously grew more and more, we were raised from rules and restrictions. If it was simple things such as a child being told, “Don’t touch the stove!” by mom or even, “Be home by 10 o’clock as a teenager, we all have had to follow some type of rule throughout our life. From being raised, respecting the law, and even dress codes and “do’s and don’ts” in school or the work place, has made us follow some type of guide line. With that being said, I believe that the #1 rule of it all, the basis, would have to be integrity.

The reason I say integrity is the basis of all rules is because, if you have integrity you would not lie or cheat. You would also have respect for others as well as yourself. And, as I would imagine, a man/women of integrity would have a good, honest heart. This is my opinion and statement for the #1 rule. Integrity is not just something you grow into but instead, learn to live out.
