The Gospel Truth

Honesty is the most important principle in professional ethics. Most ethical behaviors stem from being honest. With honesty comes an accurate representation of work performed for an employer. An accurate description of a potential or current employee’s skill set would always be provided. Recognition will be given to others’ contributions where recognition is due. Any potential clients or consumers of a product would have confidence that the product will do what is advertised, and not anything harmful. Any unethical behavior of a company would be reported and handled in appropriate ways. There are other ways to behave ethically, but honest behavior is the foundation for the most important elements of acting ethically.

The Balance of the Force

Balance is the most important part of leading a happy life. It doesn’t matter how important or good an activity is, when too much time is spent on it, it will not bring happiness. Work addictions can be just as serious as gaming and gambling addictions. Not giving yourself enough time to relax or be with family is just as draining as not putting in enough effort into work or school. Sometimes we are required to go through periods of imbalance; going to any university means consistently long hours, especially when trying to get work experience on the side. These imbalances do not last forever, and they usually results in a better situation where a better balance and quality of life can be made. Even then, this balance does not come automatically, it must be fought for. If we do not make time for all the areas of our life that are important, we will not be happy.
