Do you strive to do the right thing in any affairs of our your life.
In some cases people tend to believe that doing the right thing sometines may cause you lose one or two ‘temporal’ material things.Why do i call it a temporal material thing? Because what you achieve by playing the ‘fast guy’when you should do what is right has an effect on your integrity and your climb in life.
What actually makes you do the right thing?It is character.
Character will always push you to do the right thing no matter what the crowd is saying.
To understand it better,look at this quote by Dr.Martin Luther King Jr.’Cowardice asks:is it safe?Consesus asks:is it popular?Character asks:is it right?.
Always do the right thing and you will not regret it.
In conclusion,ponder on this story from The Word from today-a daily devotional guide
‘During the final play-off of the U.S Open,Bobby Jones’ball ended up in the rough just of the fairway.As he set up to play his shot,he accidentally moved his ball.He immediately turned to the marshals and announce a foul.The marshals hadn’t seen the ball move;neither had anyone in the gallery.So they left it up to Jones whether to take the penalty stroke.He did.Later when someone commended him for his integrity,Jones replied,’Do you commend a bank robber for not robbing a bank? No,you don’t.This is how the game of golf should be played at all times.’Jones lost the match that day by one stroke,but he maintained his integrity.His character was so well-known that the United States Golf Association’s sportsmanship award came to be named The Bob Jones Award.’
Always do the right thing,it pays to do it .
