A Standard of Living

Here are 3 standards that each one of us as individuals that are in control of our actions should strive to perform.

Moral Code #1: Be a Person of Your Word
When you make promises and then break them, that action defines you as unreliable. As a successful being, you want other’s to rely on your product, intelligence and most importantly, you. If you need to make a commitment, be sure it is realistic and if tentative, communicate the information to the other people involved. You want to build trust, not demolish it.

Moral Code #2: Be Punctual
Whether you are an employer or an employee, understand the value of someone’s time. As we said earlier, you are busy and so is everyone else. When you are late it sends a message that you disvalue the other person.
It also says that you are selfish and inconsiderate of other people’s time. This detracts from the primary goal.

Moral Code #3: Be Honest
Speak and communicate from honesty. Misleading others, no matter how insignificant the ‘white lie’ may be still carries into your daily actions. If you don’t get caught, YOU still know that you lied. That never leaves you. The dishonesty and negativity linger. It eventually, snowballs. Instead, allow honesty to snowball into a trustworthy person, one that people count on.
