We had a very interesting assignment for class this week, we were asked to make a list of three I WILL NEVER…… and I WILL ALWAYS….. a question of what are our standards and what are our ethics. This lesson had a profound effect on me as I was contemplating this list what would I never do? and what would I always do? As I thought more and more about this list I realized this could be a list for both business and life itself.
Elder Lynn G. Robbins said “The acquiring of wealth and material possessions would become Satan’s most fertile ground, tempting mankind with the cunning strategy that this world is our destiny and that anything and everything in this world is available for money. “ It is because of this I believe that our standards and ethics should be seen everyday as a reminder that what we have in our families and faith are more important than anything on this earth.
Your personal faith and testimony as well as your business ethics hold more value than anything on this earth and should never be compromised or sold for any reason. They make up who you are and what you are about as soon as you compromise your faith and ethics there is no going back. It leaves a lasting effect such as a ripple in a calm pond of water once started it will not stop until its path is complete. I will keep this list I have created close by me it will be on my dresser so I can see it in the morning and at night. This list will be at my desk at work so that who I talk with and what a prepare for will never compromise my faith or my ethics.
