Personal integrity :D

2009-05-28T14:28:00.004+08:00

Integrity is basically being truthful and not telling lies. Integrity is important when it comes to relationships, especially family and close friends. Just a lie can sour the relationship. It is also a sin to tell lies. So my point is - just play safe and tell the truth.

2009-05-28T14:24:00.003+08:00

Integrity is a necessity. Integrity gains trusts. Trust is a hard to gain back. Without trust, friends would not be there for you like before. Parents would do the same. See how they link... LIFE would be hard without these important people in our lives. So by having Integrity, we would not lose them. We won't be sad and all...:D So...treasure INTEGRITY:D

introduction on integrity

2009-05-27T22:11:00.005+08:00

Integrity is a holistic concept, which judges the quality
of having sense of honesty and truthfulness in regard
to the motivations for one's actions.
which is a consistency of actions, values, methods,
measures, principles, expectations and outcome.
It is your choice of values and resolution to live by
those values that form your character and personality.
And it is integrity that enhances all your other values.
The quality of person you are is determined by how well
you live up to the values that are most important to you.
Integrity is the quality that locks in your values and causes
you to live consistent with them.

One afternoon, Annie invited her friends over to her house to play games. She had invited Kelly, Charlie, Peter and Lily over. Then Peter suggested that they play ball. The rest agreed. They had a lot of fun. Suddenly, when Annie wanted to throw the ball to Charlie, she accidentally aimed the ball the wrong direction and it hit her mother's favourite vase that she got from her best friend. "Oh no! My mum's vase is broken! How am I going to explain to my mother later on? She will be coning back in 10 minutes' time, and we will be never be able to replace this vase. It is a limited edition vase from Spain!"
Annie was terrified as she knew it was her fault and she was afraid to face the music. They were deciding what to do when suddenly Annie's mother came back. "What's wrong children? All of you seem troubled." "Erm... Mum... Your vase... Is... Is..."Annie said, stammering. "MY VASE ?!! You broke it ?!! How could you, Annie?" "No mum, it's not me. It's Lily!" Annie's mother stared at Lily for a minute, feeling very angry. Then, she stormed into her room, banging the door behind her. Lily looked at Annie in tears, thinking why her friend could blame her when she was innocent. She walked out of the house, followed by the rest.
Annie felt terrible inside. She knew she had done something wrong and blaming others. She slowly stepped into her mother's room and plucked up her courage to tell her mother the truth. She was expecting a scolding from her mother, but instead her mother praised her for being truthful.
The next day in school, Lily gave Annie a new vase and said it was for her mother. Annie was touched and apologised to Lily. Annie explained the whole situation that happened yesterday and said that she had told her mother the truth already. From then on, they were very close friends.

A story on Integrity

2009-05-27T18:24:00.006+08:00

Everyone knew I was a chocoholic. Everyday, I would pass by this shop to buy my favourite chocolate bar, Snickers. But one day, when I was about to buy my chocolate, I saw this brand new MP4 player. It was a cool shiny gadget. Small and portable. I remembered almost everyone in my class had it. I walked forward to check the price. To my astonishment, it was $200! After buying my chocolate, I hurriedly rush home.

Upon my arrival, I entered my house and my dog (which I call Snickers cause he looked like one) rushed up to me and licked me on the face. Its saliva was cold but disgusting. I saw my mum cooking and I immediately begged on my knees for her to purchase the MP4 player. Her response was a quick ‘no’. I wanted to beg again but I know my mother well.

The following day, after school, I talked this over with my friend, Madeline. She then encouraged me to shoplift but I know I could not. My conscience told me not to. I cannot beg my mum again, in addition, with my marks of 4 over 50 for my Mathematics test. But because of temptation and desperation, I had to. My eyes could not stand one look away from the MP4 player. I felt like a kleptomaniac. Soon, I was in the shop for my ‘clever’ plan with Madeline on watch outside the shop.

As sly as a fox, I went near one of the boxes containing the MP4 player inside. With two hands holding it, it was like I found a treasure box! I dumped it inside my school bag and rushed out of the shop.

I celebrated with Madeline but as we were about to leave the shop, the owner pulled me back and not Madeline. She turned back and run away. I felt hopeless.

The shop owner brought me to the nearest police station. The policeman questioned e for my details and called my parents up while my parents have not arrived I asked,

“Uncle, how did you know when you did not even have those camera or those sensor?”

“My assistant saw you without knowing it. I wouldn’t be fooled with my trustworthy assistant.”, he replied.

Soon my parents arrived, with a confused look, they asked the policeman and shop owner of the incident. They explained everything. I felt embarrassed. The kind policeman gave me a chance but I had to do CIP. My parents thanked the policeman and the shop owner and I soon returned the stolen MP4 player. I walked home, with my head hung in shame.

*NOTE!!!- This is a fictional story... just to elaborate an example on Integrity,just for your information.:D

This is an explanation of integrity :
Integrity is honesty. You must have integrity then only people will trust you.

Examples:
- Copying in a test
- Cheating in marks
- Lying to people

When you copy in a test, you are copying other people's answers. It is a bad habit.
When the teacher gives you extra marks in a test, tell the teacher.
Don't lie to people. it might decrease the trust between you and others. This will affect your relationships.

Remember, honesty is the best policy(:

My reflection on Integrity

The definition of Integrity in dictionary.com is
adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty.

As people, we need to follow God's commandments. Some of them relates to Integrity. And as members of the Girls' Brigade, a Christian youth organisation, we have to have this vital value in our life.

Without integrity, conflicts can occur and worsen. There are many other effects that will happen without integrity in this world.

An example is
Cheating in a test/exam

This is a common incident between students. Sometimes, after achieving satisfying marks, good things will happen but soon the consequences will appear. So what is the point of cheating? Things just get worse...

My point is Honesty is the best policy. It is a common proverb but has a strong meaning deep within...:D

Why Do Kids Steal?(Article)

Why Do Kids Steal?(Article)
Some kids steal because their friends or family members do it or because they might have been dared. They might believe their friends will like them more if they steal
· Still, some kids lack self-control. They might see something they want and take it. They don't stop to think first about what might happen. They might not think to buy the object or ask to borrow it. Kids get better at self-control as they grow.
· Some kids steal because they feel something is missing in their lives. What's missing may be love or attention. Or simple things like food and clothing. They may be angry, sad , scared, or jealous. They might steal as a way to deal with the situation. But stealing won't fix what's missing.
· Other kids might have personal problems that lead them to steal. They may feel jealous of what others have. They may feel unloved and neglected. Or they may be upset that their parents are arguing or getting divorced.

What Kind of Stealing Is Wrong?(Article)
When a person takes something that belongs to somebody else without permission , that is stealing.
The stolen object can be as small as a piece of candy or as big as a car. It can be taken from someone a person knows or from a stranger. It can be taken from a store, a kind of stealing called shoplifting, or from someone's home. But either way, it's stealing.

Why Kids and Teens Steal? (Article)

2009-05-15T19:51:00.000+08:00

Why Kids and Teens Steal? (Article)
Kids of all ages — from preschoolers to teens — can be tempted to steal for different reasons:
· Very young children sometimes take things they want without understanding that things cost money and that it's wrong to take something without paying for it.
· School-age kids usually know they're not supposed to take something without paying, but they might do so anyway because they lack enough self-control.
· Preteens and teens know they're not supposed to steal, but might steal for the thrill of it or because their friends do. Some might believe they can get away with it. As they're given more control over their lives, some teens steal as a way of rebelling.
And other complex reasons can be factors. Kids might be angry or want attention. Their behavior may reflect stress at home, school, or with friends. Some may steal as a cry for help because of emotional or physical abuse they're enduring.
In other cases, kids and teens steal because they can't afford to pay for what they need or want — for example, they may steal to get popular name-brand items.
