Young Mark came from a good family. Trust was highly valued and Mark took pride in always trying to be honest. “Mark, Sr. loved his son and always impressed upon him to do the right and honorable thing regardless of the temptation. He would always say: “Son, your reputation and integrity are your most precious assets.”

Today Mark would be tested. He could hear those words ringing in his ears as he stood facing the time clock. His own timecard in his left hand and Jason’s in the right. Jason, a good friend and coworker, asked him to clock-in on his behalf. Jason was late. He knew this was dishonest and against company policy. Conflicted, angry, and confused, he was torn between right and wrong. Jason was his friend and he was tempted to do it. What would happen if he got caught? Would he lose his job? He despised these feelings and decided to put Jason’s card back in its slot. “My reputation is all I have” he thought. “I like Jason but I’m not prepared to compromise my honesty.”

When we are both trustworthy, we help each other achieve our highest potential, resulting in zones of inspiration and profitable work environments!
