David MitchellIntegrity is a bugger, it really is. Lying can get you into difficulties, but to really wind up in the crappers try telling nothing but the truth.
About This Quote
Billy Ocean’s hit song ‘Love Really Hurts Without You’ says it best: “Lying can get you into difficulties, but to really wind up in the crappers try telling nothing but the truth.” For many, integrity is a prickly thing. It seems to be a constant battle of balancing lying and telling the truth with integrity. It is quite easy for people to lie. They just do it with smiles on their faces and think no one will ever find out.
However, this attitude leads to problems because it is ultimately at the expense of others. If people do not trust you or believe you than they are not going to do business with you either. The reality is that there are consequences for lying and telling the truth.
