Integrity
Taken from http://pascoaman.blogspot.com/ "Integrity" - This is one man that I totally respect. It's always wonderful to hear him share.

"Simply let your `Yes' be `Yes,' and your`No,' `No'" Matt 5:37
99.9% integrity is no integrity - it destroys trust and undermines relationships. White or any colour, lies are lies.Because if I were talking to a person who lies 0.1% of the time, I will be spending 100% of my time wondering ??when?? that 0.1% untruth will come.
Integrity builds trust - and trust is a fragile thing. Slow to build up, easily destroyed. If the goal is less than 100% integrity, it will backfire.
How to build integrity?
1. Decide that you are going to be 100% truthful - one does not need to answer all questions, but one must decide he/she is not going to mislead anyone.
2. Come clean (wherever possible) on EVERY deceit, especially the "BIGGIES">
3. Be ruthless and do it NOW - deceit is too powerful for anyone to entertain for even one more minute.
- I'm forever thankful to my mum, who through her unending patience, provided me opportunities to confess to her the hardest things. She has taught me integrity.
- I'm thankful to my father, who modelled for me integrity, that it is more important to be true than to "save face" or "give face". He taught me not to spend too much time learning how to mask true feelings.
- I'm thankful to my God, who gave me unending mercy, to forgive my deepest darkness, to accept me regardless, so that I do not need crave for acceptance from any other.
