Motivational Power Quote
Integrity is a 100 Percent Thing
"Integrity is not a 90 percent thing,
not a 95 percent thing - -
either you have it
or you don't."
Peter Scotese, chairman New York Fashion
Institute of Technology.
As I see it. . . . . . . .
Integrity is a 100 percent thing.
A person with integrity is described as being honest. Can a person have integrity if they are not honest 100% of the time?
Integrity is also described as the impressions that a person makes. Can a person maintain the impression of integrity where they are not consistent in there actions and reliability?
Be a person of consistent values and have the courage to do what's right.
Integrity will take us from good to great in the eyes of the people we do business with and in our personal relationships.
Integrity shows and we will be judged by our integrity; we either have it or we don't.

Great thought for the day. Integrity is a black and white issue...like pregnancy, either you are or you ain't!
Great quote....let's hope we all meet up with the 100% ers today.
Very true post! Thanks for reminding us all to stay true!
Sincerely,
Kathleen
Lou: I agree. We either have integrity or we do not. Integrity is like being pregnant - you either are or you are not. It is that simple.
Lou, it's something that needs repeating every day. I'll send this along to a few people who need to be reminded.
Thanks for starting the week off right!

Thanks for sharing this post with me this morning. I am always learning on AR.
You are absolutely right about the 100% of integrity, unfortunately it isn't practiced 100%. Those who have it prosper in the long run and those that don't get what is coming to them. Thanks for the words of wisdom.
Hi Lou, Happy Monday! Integrity is a 100% thing - it is a black or white issue.
Integrity has certainly become something that far too many people have a lack of. You don't get to fake it and if you do have it, it just comes naturally.
Lou, Thank you for another great thought for the day! Integrity is also doing the right thing whether anyone is looking or not!
Hi, Lou Great post, I have been asked quite often how do I close so many deals? And I tell people that's just it, its not about selling its about integrity, compassion, and diligence. People come to me for advice, because they know they will get the truth, not just what they want to hear but what they need to know to make a sound financial decision.
AGain, great post and I agree with Wanda, you do it whether others know about it or not! And in reality, I don't think I've every met someone who has it 100% of the time.
The more experiences I have in life the more I realize that often times life is indeed black and white. Integrity certainly falls under this category.
Hi Lou:
How true...
There's no in between when it comes to integrity!
Absolutely TRUE! I agree with Mark, this is a 100% thing. Non negotiable.

Hi, I'm Xinh, and I'm proud to say, "I have integrity" You're right, Lou, either you have it or you don't
Lou,
Integrity is a 100% thing. In fact, one definition is "wholeness" and that can't happen without a complete picture. :)

Another wonderful post from Lou. I totally agree - you either have integrity or you don't.
It's one of those "all or nothing" moments in life.
